Hi, > The bhyve site says, "AMD SVN support arrived on August 22nd, 2013 > with FreeBSD svn r254677 and requires testing." > > How can we tell which AMD processors are supported? Would that be > the same AMD processors that are listed on the following page as > having "Rapid Virtualization Indexing Required to Run Hyper-V in > Windows 8"? > > http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/GPU120AMDRVICPUsHyperVWin8.aspx Yes, that would be it. The RVI support has been there in CPUs for quite a long time now - it would be hard to find a recent AMD CPU that doesn't have it. > Or is bhyve using a different feature of some AMD processors? No, that's the main one. > I'm a co-developer, with Aryeh Friedman, of a forthcoming possible > front end for bhyve. Cool ! later, Peter.
