Ok. I was hoping you can clarify the contradiction between the existance of the spec below and your "not something any other gpu can reasonably support" statement. I mean, OneAPI is Intel's spec and doesn't that at least make SubDevice support "reasonable" for one more vendor? Partisanship aside, as a drm co-maintainer, do you really not see the need for non-work-conserving way of distributing GPU as a resource? You recognized the latencies involved (although that's really just part of the story... time sharing is never going to be good enough even if your switching cost is zero.) As a drm co-maintainer, are you suggesting GPU has no place in the HPC use case?
