Out this week is the 12th iteration of the Hopper and Blackwell enablement for this future open-source NVIDIA Linux driver.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s looking like the Hopper and Blackwell enablement work could soon be wrapping up for the Nova driver. NVIDIA engineer John Hubbard sent out the v12 patches on Monday that re-base against drm-rust-next and make various Rust code improvements. There is also various code changes around their FSP, the Foundation Security Processor.<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.phoronix.net\/image.php?id=nvidia-geforce-rtx-5090-pre&#038;image=nvidia_rtx5090_4_med\" alt=\"NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Those interested in this latest enablement code for Hopper and Blackwell GPUs with the Nova driver can see the twelfth version of these patches on the mailing list undergoing review.<\/p>\n<p>When recently at NVIDIA for the Vera benchmarking, I did take the opportunity to ask various executives about Nova given their ongoing and significant engineering investment into this upstream driver&#8230; I heard some interesting remarks and am still awaiting their official\/blessed statement to share.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.phoronix.com\/news\/Hopper-Blackwell-Nova-Closer\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NVIDIA Hopper &#038; Blackwell GPU Support Moves Closer For Open-Source Nova Driver https:\/\/www.phoronix.com\/news\/Hopper-Blackwell-Nova-Closer Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":262815,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.phoronix.net\/image.php?id=nvidia-geforce-rtx-5090-pre&image=nvidia_rtx5090_4","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[71,57],"class_list":["post-262813","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-linux","tag-linux","tag-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262813"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=262813"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262813\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":262816,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262813\/revisions\/262816"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/262815"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=262813"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=262813"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=262813"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
