NVIDIA has provided open-source contributions this week to enhance the existing Nouveau kernel driver. The posted patches aim to bring up support for the NVIDIA GA100 GPU, leveraging the GPU System Processor (GSP). This development focuses on expanding hardware compatibility within the established Nouveau driver, rather than the newer in-development Nova kernel driver. The integration of GSP for GA100 support represents a step toward broader compatibility for NVIDIA's enterprise-focused GPUs with open-source Linux drivers, as reported by Phoronix.
