New Nvidia Video Driver for Linux Supports X Server 1.8
,----[ Quote ]
| Nvidia announced a few days ago, on its
| forum, a new version of its proprietary
| driver for the Nvidia graphics cards. Nvidia
| 195.36.24 adds support for new GPUs, and
| fixes a few issues. But the most important
| thing is that Nvidia 195.36.24 has support
| for X Server 1.8.

PathScale plans CUDA killer
,----[ Quote ]
| While compilers are the company's bread and
| butter, PathScale is also looking to push
| open source and help to develop better GPGPU
| drivers for the open source community - so
| much so, in fact, that the company is
| offering free Nvidia Fermi graphics cards to
| "qualified open source developers and
| researchers" looking to write open drivers
| and compilers.

Proof Of Concept: Open-Source Multi-GPU Rendering!
,----[ Quote ]
| Now that David Airlie's vga_switcheroo has
| went upstream in the Linux 2.6.34 kernel that
| provides hybrid graphics support and delayed
| GPU switching, David went on to look for
| something new to work on in his downtime when
| not busy with tasks at Red Hat. This new work
| is on GPU offloading / multi-GPU rendering.
|
| Last month NVIDIA introduced Optimus as a way
| for dual-GPU notebooks to seamlessly switch
| between the two GPUs but also to offload the
| rendering workload to the other graphics
| processor. This is somewhat similar to
| NVIDIA's SLI and ATI/AMD's CrossFire for
| splitting the rendering workload across
| multiple GPUs, but it has its differences.
| David ended up developing a proof-of-concept
| similar to NVIDIA's Optimus that he is calling
| "Prime" and it works with Intel and ATI GPUs.
