tell me, Qui-Gon, how would using one of these graphics card plugs help a virtual machine access a physical card? (and no, I'm not mining, (or gaming), with the card on a VM. I'm using the thousands of processor units available on a GPU card to do some Monte Carlo simulations, to run a distributed matrix inversions by parts algorithm, and ru  some trivially paralyzable random Forest algorithms.) <br><br>if that plug can somehow prevent vmware, or hypervisor, or docker, from trying to split up a physical card into many virtual cards, and just dedicate a real physical card to each of three or four virtual machine instances, that would be a blessing.
