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.

Looks very complete and seems to answer many of my questions (and
probably some that I have not thought of yet).
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]. 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] [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.
