To support graphical applications requiring the use of AMD hardware shared virtualized GPU, the hypervisors need to be compatible with AMD's MxGPU technology. AMD MxGPU relies on graphics cards with MxGPU chips and Single Root I/O Virtualization technology, and it is supported on VMware ESXi and Xen hypervisors starting from XenServer 7.4 and above. Therefore, among the given options, the architect can select VMware vSphere 5.5 and VMware vSphere 6.0 as suitable hypervisors.
B,D https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX232830 In this article, we provide steps to use AMD MxGPU with XenServer. Before proceeding, ensure the following requirements are met: AMD FirePro S7100-series GPUs XenServer 7.4 and above (7.2 was Tech Preview)
Correct B, D! Unlike Intel's GVT and Nvidia's vGPUs, AMD's MxGPU relies on graphics cards that have MxGPU chips and Single Root I/O Virtualization technology for GPU virtualization. It supports VMware ESXi, KVM and Xen hypervisors. https://searchservervirtualization.techtarget.com/feature/GPU-virtualization-eases-system-workloads-boosts-efficiency Only support for Vmware, KVM en Xen hypervisor. (and recent it's possible in Azure) https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX232830: Amd MxgGPU requirements: XenServer 7.4 and above (7.2 was Tech Preview)
B&D is correct
