   ##### SUMMARY
   <!-- Explain the problem/feature briefly -->
   
   ~~~
   With the release of gim, the AMD FirePro is now supported on the KVM hypervisor. Similar to NVIDIA's GRID or Tesla, the AMD FirePro allows KVM/ESXi/XenServer guests to utilize VF's to enhance graphics performance. The AMD FirePro requires the use of SR-IOV and IOMMU to pass VFs. I would like to see support for the AMD FirePro MxGPU in Apache CloudStack. As time progresses, we are going to possibly develop this ourselves.

   ##### EXPECTED RESULTS
   <!-- What did you expect to happen when running the steps above? -->
   
   ~~~
   Add the AMD FirePro as an option in Service Offering > GPU. When chosen, the user can choose how many VFs they want to pass to the virtual guest.
