Driver for Linux (Ubuntu) for vGPU NVIDIA Grid K1/K2

Hi,

I am running VMware Horizon 6.2 to deploy Linux (Ubuntu 14.04) pools. We running the VMs on HP ESXI hosts that have Nvidia Grid K1 graphical card installed we trying to have those VM running 3D rendering for Bioinformatics modelling.

There is no driver for Linux for Grid k1 neither k2 that can make the NVIDIA Grid card usable by Linux. In the other hand, the Windows VMs have a driver available at the NVIDIA website driver page: NVIDIA GRID VGPU SOFTWARE RELEASE 352.83/354.80 | 354.80 | VMware vSphere ESXi 6.0 | NVIDIA

The file that we download has 4 different version of driver for Windows 7/8/10 with x86 and x64 bit, also a driver for the ESXI host but no where to find the Linux one.

I would really appreciate any information about the status of the development of the Driver. We are more than happy helping out with the development of the driver. We can also have the Alpha, Beta version to test it on our test environment and provide useful feedback.

Kind regards,
