Microsoft Hyper-V GPU-P : Lack of documentation

Hello everyone,

Is it just me or is GPU-P extremely poorly documented, or even DDA and Hyper-V itself is poorly documented… I mean I can’t even find the system requirements of GPU-P.

Questions that I have in my head…

What are the System Requirements

Which versions of Windows 10/Server…

  • Windows 10 Pro?
  • Windows 10 Pro for Workstation?
  • Windows Server 2016?
  • Windows Server 2019?
  • Windows Server 2022 Preview?

Since which build number?

If Windows Server is supported, can we combined GPU-P with DDA

On Windows Server I imagine we could use GPU-P and Discrete Device Assignment to add a NVME SSD or USB Controller to the VM.

What are the uses of each value in Get-VMPartitionableGpu

Get-VMPartitionableGpu outputs a lot of parameters, so what are the min/max of each value and what does each do?

Lately Microsoft Hyper-V has peaked my interest as it seems to finally be implementing features to take on the likes of QEMU with recent features like DDA and now GPU-P but if they keep providing such poor documentation of the software it just isn’t usable. Even DDA has poor documentation and that’s been around longer but still relatively new…

Anyways your thoughts?

Cheers!
