Research direction

Start with the linked xhyve issue 108 and compare its proposed approach with hyperkit's existing capabilities. Define the required PCI passthrough and GPU-container behavior before implementation; done means NVIDIA Docker or a similar tool can build and run GPU containers.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement help wanted

This would mainly be useful for machine learning development in Docker, and would allow us to use https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker (or similar) to build and run GPU containers.

See https://github.com/mist64/xhyve/issues/108.
