Ask HN: Linux host with KVM/PCI passthrough for gaming and native CUDA for work
At work, CUDA with CuDNN will be an everyday necessity and that part is easy enough to configure.
Also, following recent years advancements I also want to use the openSUSE (bare) as a Host for a windows Guest machine with PCI passthrough that achieves almost native performance. There is a guide here for Arch Linux to adapt for openSUSE for instance (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PCI_passthrough_via_OVMF). This should also be doable with a little configuration work.
Now, the big question I can't see answered anywhere is if I can do both without rebooting my openSUSE Host?
For instance:
1 - Work with CUDA in openSUSE bare.
2 - Stop working with CUDA.
3 - Boot Windows in a KVM/QEMU guest with PCI passthrough for gaming.
4 - Shutdown Windows Guest.
5 - Go back to work in CUDA in openSUSE bare.
All of this without rebooting openSUSE.
Any similar experiences you can share on how to achieve this?
