I want to build an environment to experiment with Tensorflow. I upgraded Fusion on my Mac because Vmare claims support for IOMMU. The MacPro6,1 has a Falcon Ridge IOMMU
I want to use my eGPU (Akitio Node w/NVIDIA GTX 970) in a Linux VM. I installed Vmware Fusion 10. VM CPU Resources lists IOMMU as an option. There's no documentation on how to use it.
Was Vmware incorrect in listing the option ? If they were I just want a refund. I'll boot Linux baremetal on my Macpro6,1.
I'd prefer to create test environments in a VM. Please let me know how to implement IOMMU with Vmware Fusion 10.
