Written by Michael Larabel in Nouveau on 16 October 2015 at 06:13 PM EDT. Add A Comment

Samuel Pitoiset has published a new set of sixteen patches for improving the MP counters support for NVIDIA GeForce GTX 400/500 "Fermi" graphics processors.

The new patch series improves the performance counters support on the open-source Nouveau driver and improves MP counters for GF100/GF110 hardware. The patches also enable compute support by default on Fermi.

More details via this latest patch series. If you're not familiar with the Nouveau performance counter work, see the other Phoronix articles mentioning the work by Pitoiset.
