After SkyLake E3, there are no new servers capable of running GVT-g, and Intel future graphics for data center will have different approaches for GPU sharing. Another reason is the XenGT upstream difficulty. Different from KVMGT which has been fully merged to upstream, Xen part of GVT-g still has technical opens that are hard to close quickly.

This is extremely useful -- thanks for sharing. Any chance you can
elaborate on the later part "and Intel future graphics for data center
will have different approaches for GPU sharing"?

IOW, is there anything that Intel is cooking up that may help Xen in
that department?

Thanks,
