From our perspective: yes, we don't feel comfortable letting untrusted users run side by side without a sandbox.
In this context though of GPU compute, you are just talking sporadically to a PCIe attached device directly. There isn't any virtualization or sharing of the device. And yes, I assumed that the complaint would be performance, but especially with just a pass through GPU, it's going to be honestly funny to find the right "oh wow this is 20% slower because virtualization specifically".

I still wonder what other large providers (SoftLayer, OVH, etc.) do about this. Unfortunately, I suspect the answer is "nothing, we just hope/assume nothing will happen." > In this context though of GPU compute, you are just talking sporadically to a PCIe attached device directly. I know; I'm familiar with passthrough. It's not completely "free," but the overhead is very minor. I don't think anyone will be able to complain with a straight face about its performance. :P
