[Qemu-discuss] Access hardware GPU from Qemu

Hi,

I have a Nvidia GeForce GT 520M in my notebook, but so far I was not
able to get the correct driver in my Debian system.  (I'm new to
Debian, though, so I probably just missed the correct installation
procedure yet.)

Since I only want to use it for special purposes (namely, running CUDA
calculations), I wonder whether I could install Windows in a Qemu
system and run the calculations there.  Is it possible to make Qemu
access the GPU for hardware acceleration even when the host system
does not have appropriate drivers?  Something like giving the guest
system full hardware access to the graphics card?

Maybe that's a stupid idea, but I'm no expert in virtualization stuff.

Yours,
Daniel
