NVIDIA Highlights Their Open-Source vGPU Upstreaming Work Built Atop Nova
Phoronix reports that NVIDIA presented the current status of its effort to bring vGPU support to the upstream Linux kernel at this week's KVM Forum, with the work built on top of Nova, NVIDIA's Rust-based Linux kernel driver. According to Phoronix, Nova is still seeing heavy development to reach a usable state. The aim is eventual parity with, and beyond, both the existing out-of-tree NVIDIA Linux driver and the incomplete, largely reverse-engineered Nouveau driver. Phoronix adds that Nova is set to play an important role in NVIDIA's official Linux driver stack going forward.

NVIDIA Highlights Their Open-Source vGPU Upstreaming Work Built Atop Nova
The Rust-based NVIDIA Linux kernel driver "Nova" is set to take on an important role in the official NVIDIA Linux driver stack of the future. This mainline kernel driver continues seeing a flurry of activity to bring it into a usable state and eventually parity and beyond compared to the existing out-of-tree NVIDIA Linux driver code or the incomplete and largely reverse engineered Nouveau kernel driver. Presented at this week's KVM Forum was the current status of NVIDIA bringing vGPU support to
