Nothing is "impossible", but it is at least not obvious how to pull off such a trick. Qemu/KVM is not "embarrassingly parallelizable", at least not in a straightforward way imho. > Someone, in experimental way, has (re)wrote the md-raid kernel modules using > the CUDA framework to accelerate some features... and it seems that works > fine. > Why not for KVM/Qemu or related projects, including kernel/user-space > extension? RAID is "easy", as is FFT, graphics operations, cryptography etc. People have been parallelizing these algorithms for several years before even nvidia existed and CUDA is just a new backend to apply more or less the same techniques. KVM/Qemu on the other hand are not 100% CPU bound and are also not trivial to massively parallelize, so you might find the task a bit hard.
