Current State of Graphics Virtualization Upstream - Daniel Stone, Collabora

The Linux graphics subsystem has traditionally relied on 'implicit synchronisation' to make this coherent, with the kernel handling scheduling. Graphics and media workloads are deeply pipelined, deeply parallel, and deeply asynchronous. However modern hardware has been completely the other way and giving userspace exacting control - making implicit synchronisation less and less viable. This talk will discuss the current efforts upstream regarding the open source graphics solutions when it comes to containerized and virtualized workloads.
