support for gpu accelerators on provisioned instances
This blueprint proposes to add support for GPU accelerators as an alternative machine type in OpenStack for CUDA and OpenCL applications. The blueprint uses device id passing from host to LXC instances to make the GPUs available to the provisioned LXC instances.

Whiteboard
The allocation and mapping of GPUs to VMs (on a virtualised system, setting barebone aside for a moment) is almost exactly the same issue as allocating direct-mapped NICs to VMs (limited per-compute-node resources, allocated to VMs on request) and a joint strategy should be taken to solve both problems. There are a number of blueprints on PCI direct map out there and Zardara storage are promising me code for this... -- ijw.ubuntu
