NVIDIA engineer Ankit Agrawal today posted a request for comments (RFC) patch series working on Linux virtualization support for Extended GPU Memory (EGM).

Extended GPU Memory functionality is found with their Grace Hopper and Grace Blackwell systems so the GPU can access system memory allocations whether they be on the same node or even different sockets or entirely different nodes of multi-node clusters. The work happening now for the Linux kernel is allowing NVIDIA EGM to work in the context of virtualization.
