We care a lot about security, that's part of the motivation for passthrough instead of any of the "split up a GPU". So as I quoted above from our post: > GPUs are offered in passthrough mode to provide bare metal performance. Up to 8 GPU dies can be attached per VM instance including custom machine types. So when your VM boots up, the GPUs you attach will not be shared with others. I agree that the state of GPU virtualization is not yet where it needs to be to make me personally comfortable enough. Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud (and worked on this a little).
