Cuda + Virtualization

[Nitrobass24]

If I were to install ESX would my xp virtual machines be able to access the GPU?

[tmurray]

no, they would not

[Nitrobass24]

Are there any plans for this to be supported in the future?

Not in the short term.

Check XEN and HYPER-V

It might be possible. Check out the e-mail thread below – the thread gets interesting towards the end

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper-V

Virtual Devices can also take advantage of a Windows Server Virtualization feature, named Enlightened I/O, for storage, networking and graphics subsystems, among others. Enlightened I/O is specialized virtualization-aware implementation of high level communication protocols like SCSI to take advantage of VMBus directly, that allows bypassing any device emulation layer. This makes the communication more efficient, but requires the guest OS to support Enlightened I/O. Windows 2008 and Windows Vista and SUSE Linux are currently the only operating systems that support Enlightened I/O, allowing them therefore to run faster as guest operating systems under Hyper-V than other operating systems that need to use slower emulated hardware.

Look @ the Hyper-V along with the operating systems mentioned above.

Note Hyper-V also supports Linux as a Guest OS (so says my memory). Check the microsoft site
