Disclaimer: Please follow this guide being aware of the fact that I'm not an expert regarding the things outlined below, however I made my best attempt. A few people in IRC confirmed it worked for them and the results looked acceptable.

Attention: After following all the steps run gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache as root, this prevents various gdk-related bugs that have been reported in the last few hours. Symptoms are varied, and for Cinnamon the DE fails to start entirely while for XFCE the icon theme seemingly can't be changed anymore etc.

Check the gist's comments for any further tips and instructions, especially if you are running into problems!

Consumer-grade GPUs in an OpenStack system (NVIDIA GPUs)

Assumptions

This assumes you have GTX980 cards in your system (PCI id 10de:13c0 & 10de:0fbb per card). Just add more IDs for other cards in order to make this more generic. This also assumes nova uses qemu-kvm as the virtualization hypervisor (qemu-system-x86_64). This seems to be the default on OpenStack Newton when installed using openstack-ansible.

We assume OpenStack Newton is pre-installed and that we are working on a Nova compute node. This has been tested on an Ubuntu 16.04 system where I installed OpenStack AIO version 14.0.0 (different from the git tag used in the instructions!): http://docs.openstack.org/developer/openstack-ansible/developer-docs/quickstart-aio.html

Prepare the system for GPU passthrough (set up IOMMU/vfio/...)

Note: This is heavily based on information from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PCI_passthrough_via_OVMF#Enabling_IOMMU adapted for Ubuntu 16.04
