> Section under construction. Tables is broken. Would have to fix it.
{.is-warning}
Take this table as an example:
| Description | vfio-pci | vfio-mdev | vfio-gpu |
|---|---|---|---|
| *Performance* | Near-native performance and full features set | Near-native performance and full features set | Degraded performance and limited features set |
| *Guests support* | UNIX and non-UNIX guests | UNIX and non-UNIX guests | Works only on selected UNIX guests |
| *Driver* | No special driver in the guest | No special driver in the guest | Requires a special driver in the guest |
| *Number of host GPUs* | Two GPUs in most situations | A single GPU | A single GPU |
| *GPU support* | Mostly GPU agnostic | Recent Intel integrated GPUs and some professional grade Nvidia GPUs | Mostly GPU agnostic |

### []{#anchor-48}Beyond the first production-ready release
### Beyond the first production-ready release
Here are some features that may be added later :
- App store
- An application store for distributing prepackaged and
easy-to-deploy operating systems
- A new GUI application to manage virtual machines
- The virtual machine manager does more than what Phyllome OS
needs. It would make sense to rely on a leaner, more simple
software, similar to GNOME Boxes.
- Ideally, it would be written in Rust, just as the Cloud
Hypervisor
- Graphics
- Out-of-the box support for Single GPU passthrough
- Support for single GPU passthrough would make it easier to
run Phyllome OS on hardware that features a single graphics
card lacking support for vfio-mdev.
- Out-of-the box support for vfio-mdev on Nvidia, consumer grade
GPUs.
- A 2021 project[^53] is bringing vfio-mdev to Nvidia,
consumer grade GPUs. It would be great to support it and
offer Phyllome's users the ability to split their physical
GPUs.
- Out-of-the box support for SR/IOV on generation 11^th^ of Intel
graphics
- Streaming
- Making encoding and decoding a virtual machine desktop or
display more efficient would allow for more diverse uses,
including usable remote desktops.
- For that to happen, it would mean to support virtio-video.
- Another route would be to use WebRTC on Wayland.
- Support the Virtual I/O Device (VIRTIO) Version 1.2
- Version 1.2 of the VIRTIO specification will soon be released
with new virtual devices. Phyllome OS will need to support
these.
- Support platform-dependent confidential computing features
- On public clouds -- where many virtual machines are collocated
underneath the same hypervisor -- there are ongoing efforts to
make it possible to run workloads without having to blindly
trust the host system. Some of those efforts rely on
platform-specific technologies, such as Intel's SGX Secure
Enclave or and AMD's Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV). It

more open x86 motherboard that supports both openBMC and

be great.
