Virgil 3D GPU project VS Kazan

Virgil 3D GPU project mentions (10)

• Davinci resolve on Chromebook

  Again I might be wrong, since I have not looked into it long. But I think that the GPU support in Crostini is only for hardware acceleration. Not for video decoding. I think they use (https://virgil3d.github.io/) which has no video adapter functionality. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Android 13 virtualization lets Pixel 6 run Windows 11, Linux distributions

  I'd assume that it doesn't, while passthrough exist on KVM, it still requires the actual drivers to be installed on the emulated OS and mobile handset drivers are usually proprietary blobs. The APIs could be translated to a generic driver that works on the OSs though, something like https://virgil3d.github.io/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Worthwhile to virtualize a GPU with ESXi or just plop in a dedicated GPU?

  I learned recently that there is a project for QEMU: https://virgil3d.github.io/ This does about what you are asking for, has a different approach but is probably not as performant. Source: about 2 years ago

• I made an application to run Windows Apps on Linux using a VM as if they are native applications

  GPU paravirtualization of 3D acceleration is still not really yet available in any virtualization/emulation platform. So for now we've stuck with passthrough. Source: about 2 years ago

• Any possibility of running Civilization IV?

  A guest in vmd(8) may enter 32-bit mode, but has no graphical display; Civilization IV would need a graphical display with 3D acceleration. VirGL provides such acceleration for Linux guests in qemu, but doesn't exist in vmd. Source: over 2 years ago
