Major Description
Introduction:
==========
Currently, CloudStack gets GPU capability through NVIDIA GRID K1 and GRID K2 cards only on the XenServer Host. Now, XenServer 6.5 SP1 has added support for NVIDIA Maxwell card(Tesla M60), which supports both Passthrough and vGPU features. This improvement would allow the user to get benefits of Telsa GPU cards while deploying a VM with GPU enabled.
Benefits of Tesla M60:
=================
1. The Tesla M60 card supports latest NVIDIA GRID 2.0 technology.
2. The Tesla M60 can run more VMs per server. It supports a maximum of 128 VMs on a XenServer 6.5 SP1 host.
3. Now It can run on a blade server and supports vGPU on Linux VMs.(Only on M60-8Q, M60-4Q, M60-2Q, M60-1Q, M60-0Q)
4. The Tesla M60 card supports a maximum resolution of 2560 X 1600.
5. Tesla M60 has a maximum CUDA core of 4096 on both the GPUs (2048 each).
Tesla M60 Virtual GPU Types:
=======================
| Physical GPUs | GRID Virtual GPU | Frame Buffer (MB) | Virtual Display Heads | Maximum Resolution per Display Head | Maximum vGPUs per GPU | Maximum vGPU per Board |
