|
|
|
| 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 |

### 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 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
|
|
would be nice to be able to support these.
|
|
* **First-class support for more open x86 hardware**
|
|
* It would be great to optimize Phyllome OS to work on a recent, more open x86 motherboard that supports both openBMC and
|
|
Coreboot[^54].
|
|
* **Support beyond the x86 architecture**
|
|
* Support for hardware based on ARM and RISC-V architectures would be great. |
