In this case it seems that putting the design changes from 4.5 (new GPU
types) in the 4.4 docs is problematic.
It seems that the 4.5 docs should document the vgpuTypes that were added
in 4.5 with a link to the 4.4 docs if there are no other changes.
Perhaps part of the problem is that the Administrator documents are
lacking some key info and explanation from the design docs.
It will become increasingly hard to locate the missing information as
versions are released.
It will be very difficult to find GPU information for Cloudstack version
6.2 if you have to find it in the design docs for 4.4.
I have updated the admin doc to add a bit of context and a reference to
the Design docs .

I don't know what is a best way to present such kind of information.
From one side each version should contain its own copy of the chapter,
but this is probably hard to maintain. From the other side - having
just one wiki document with history of versions is probably simpler.

My question was whether this page needs to be in the 4.5 Design docs.
Currently the new GPU types are in the 4.4 Design Docs which you seem
to be saying is wrong (K160Q, K180Q, K280Q were added to 4.5 not 4.4)
It looks like someone updated the 4.4 docs rather than adding the
page to the 4.5 doc set.
If I am not mistaken, the current 4.4 page should be copied to 4.5
and then the changes made to the 4.4 page should be reverted to an
earlier version where the new GPUs are not included.

K160Q, K180Q, K280Q were added to UI at 4.5 version, but this is
already reflected in the cwiki article.

This is in the 4.4 Design docs but did not make it into the 4.5
Design docs section.
Should it be in 4.5 as well?

I suggest you to read this document:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/GPU+and+vGPU+support+for+CloudStack+Guest+VMs
[1] [1 [1]]. I have tested pass-through mode with XenServer 6.2 and
can give probably a bit more information if you need. The reference
document is good indeed, so you probably do not need my comments :)
Regards,
Vadim.

The GPU section on page
http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/projects/cloudstack-administration/en/4.5/service_offerings.html
[2] [2 [2]] [1 [2]] seems to be lacking some information (at least as
far as I can tell).
1) What does the GPU do? It says to select a card that I want to use.
No hint about the basis on which I should make the selection or if
there are any restrictions on the choice (based on hardware?)
2) It mentions support for 2 NVIDIA cards and says that if you want
to use another card "make the createServiceOffering API call". How is
this done on a UI screen?
3) The Type selection is worded in an odd way with 3 selections
explicitly named and a "so on" thrown in. Then it goes on to talk
about a passthrough vGPU type in a separate paragraph.
Perhaps there should be links to external web sites to clarify the
definitions of these cards and types.
If someone can explain what this section actually means, I will try
to write it in a clearer fashion.
