Accelerated Graphic Cards: Difference between revisions

NVIDIA now provides official documentations for most of their GPUs [https://nvidia.github.io/open-gpu-doc/ on GitHub] and open sourced their Linux kernel module for their GPUs [https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules also on GitHub]. Before NVIDIA officially open sourced their GPU stuff, there are many NVIDIA GPU reverse engineering project like [http://nouveau.freedesktop.org Nouveau] and [https://github.com/envytools/envytools EnvyTools] and a group of hackers even leaked most of the GPU stuff like documentation and even full-on reference FPGA code, which led to theNVIDIA officially open sourcing of their GPU documentation and Linux kernel module. Most of these reverse engineering project aren't complete like NVIDIA's but you can still use it as another NVIDIA GPU documentation in addition with NVIDIA's official open source documentation.
