Q: PCI and GPU passthrough kernel extension  development for 10.11/10.12

It would be great if Apple works with AMD and VMWARE to create a PCI/GPU passthrough kernel extension.

Ideally I would like my Linux VM to have full access to my 2nd AMD FirePro D700.   I'm working on a opencl application.  Too bad I have to use my older HP Xeon workstation to do it. 

 

 

As far as desktop innovation goes Apple has some catching up to do.  What interests me is PCI/GPU passthrough and PCI over IP/Thunderbolt.  Anyone working on PCI Passthrough kernel extensions ?     Linux fully supports it.  I've got Vt-d support on my MacPro so it shouldn't be too difficult to fully leverage the IOMMU

Mac Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), Dual AMD Firepro D700, 32gb ram
