GPU can not even run its own OS basically, it's a parallel co-processor, when-should/how-could I use it as a VM?


According to https://docs.linux-gvm.org/

"GVM ... may be used in combination with KVM or other platform hypervisors such as Xen* to provide a complete virtualization solution via both central processing (CPU) and graphics processing (GPU) hardware acceleration."


Most current GPUs could, even with the public programming info. The limitations in interrupt handling would eat into either functionality or performance somewhat I think.
