Additional topics available exclusively in classroom settings (note: remote courses provide descriptions only, not live demonstrations):
- Running Mac OS X on KVM (requires at least one participant with a Mac hosting Linux)
- Enabling 3D graphics via VirGL
- 3D graphics acceleration using Intel GPUs (Broadwell, Skylake, or early Kabylake families, i.e., 5th–7th generation; not later models) with igvtg, or "mediated passthrough" for NVIDIA Quadro and Tesla cards
- GPU passthrough (requires a desktop with two video cards, preferably AMD)
- USB device passthrough
Requirements
