Recent kernels have SR-IOV support for these chips too. B&H has them listed for $950. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1959142-REG/intel_33p01ib0bb_arc_p

When 32GB NVIDIA cards seem to start at around $4000 that's a big enough gap to be motivating for a bunch of applications.
- robotnikman 7mo agoI'm probably going to snag one of the Intel cards just for the SR-IOV and use with VM's
- hedgehog 7mo agoDepending what you're doing AMD's support for VirtIO Native Context might be a useful alternative (I think it gives less isolation which could be good or bad depending on use).
- scrubs 7mo agoI tried to use SRIOV to virtualize mellanox nics with vlans on redhat Linux. Long story short it did not work. Per Nvidia the os has to also run open switch. This work was on an already complex setup in finance ... so adding open switch was considered too much additionally complexity. This requirement is not something I run across in the docs. Anybody know better?
- hedgehog 7mo agoThe situation in networking is a lot different than graphics. I don't know much other than that it depends on what specific protocol, card, firmware, and network topology you're using and there's not really generic advice. If the question is setting up Ethernet switching inside the card so VFs can talk to the network, then I think the Linux switchdev tools can configure that on their own without Open vSwitch but you probably need to find someone who understands your specific type of deployment for better advice.
