nova NVIDIA GPU drivers
=======================

The nova driver project consists out of two separate drivers nova-core and
nova-drm and intends to supersede the nouveau driver for NVIDIA GPUs based on
the GPU System Processor (GSP).

The following documents apply to both nova-core and nova-drm.

nova-core
=========

The nova-core driver is the core driver for NVIDIA GPUs based on GSP. nova-core,
as the 1st level driver, provides an abstraction around the GPUs hard- and
firmware interfaces providing a common base for 2nd level drivers, such as the
vGPU manager VFIO driver and the nova-drm driver.
