VirtIO GPU: Current Status and Implementation in Rust

Explore the current status and ongoing efforts to implement VirtIO GPU for infotainment systems in the automotive industry in this 27-minute KVM Forum talk. Learn about the decision to develop VirtIO GPU in Rust as a vhost-user device under the Rust-VMM project umbrella. Discover how implementing VirtIO for hardware enables Android deployment on various VMMs supporting VirtIO, such as Crosvm and QEMU, offering benefits like reduced attack surface and granular device process permissions. Gain insights into the VirtIO GPU implementation managing GPU device operations using the vhost-user protocol, supporting virglrenderer, and exploring gfxstream integration. Follow the speakers' journey in building the VirtIO GPU device in Rust, including challenges faced and milestones achieved. Understand the past, present, and future status of this project, presented by Dorinda Bassey, a Software Engineer in RedHat's Automotive team, and Matej Hrica, a Software Engineer intern for the Automotive team at RedHat.
