ELI5?
Software to allow partitioning gpu resources among multiple virtual machines instead of just assigning the one PCIe device to a single VM. Very useful for having a single GPU do 3D acceleration on a host and multiple guests at the same time.
The other option is to use VirtIO with Native Context support as a software based partitioning scheme that is relatively lightweight compared to the mdev approach.
