Maximum vGPUs per VM
NVIDIA vGPU software supports up to a maximum of 16 vGPUs per VM on VMware vSphere, Citrix Hypervisor, RHV or Red Hat Enterprise Linux with KVM.
Peer-to-Peer CUDA transfer over NVLink support
Peer-to-peer CUDA transfers enable device memory between vGPUs on different GPUs that are assigned to the same VM to be accessed from within the CUDA kernels. NVLink is a high-bandwidth interconnect that enables fast communication between such vGPUs. Peer-to-Peer CUDA Transfers over NVLink is supported only on a subset of vGPUs
Supported Hypervisor
Peer-to-Peer CUDA Transfers over NVLink are supported on all hypervisor releases that support the assignment of more than one vGPU to a VM
Supported Guest OS Releases
Linux only. Peer-to-Peer CUDA Transfers over NVLink are not supported on Windows.
Supported vGPUs
Only Q-series and C-series time-sliced vGPUs that are allocated all of the physical GPU’s frame buffer on physical GPUs that support NVLink are supported.
