This project is an open source Linux GPU kernel driver implemented as a loadable kernel module. It functions as a GPU firmware loader, providing the low-level driver services necessary to enable direct communication between the operating system and graphics processing units.
The driver utilizes a dual-module architecture that separates GPL-licensed kernel code from proprietary firmware blobs. This system extracts and links signed binary firmware images into the kernel modules at driver load time.
The project provides driver support for Turing-architecture GPUs and all subsequent newer hardware versions. Its capability surface includes GPU hardware acceleration, firmware image extraction for open source driver compatibility, and a build pipeline that supports cross-compilation and architecture-targeted compilation.
