NVK
|
|
===
|
|
|
|
NVK is a Vulkan driver for Nvidia GPUs.
|
|
|
|
Hardware support
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
NVK currently supports Turing (RTX 20XX and GTX 16XX) and later GPUs.
|
|
Eventually, we plan to support as far back as Kepler (GeForce 600 and 700
|
|
series) GPUs but anything pre-Turing is currently disabled by default.
|
|
|
|
Kernel requirements
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
NVK requires at least a Linux 6.6 kernel
|
|
|
|
Conformance status:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
NVK is not currently conformant on any hardware. As of the writing of this
|
|
documentation, it was failing about 2000 tests with the current feature
|
|
set.
|
|
|
|
Debugging
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
Here are a few environment variable debug environment variables
|
|
specific to NVK:
|
|
|
|
:envvar:`NVK_DEBUG`:
|
|
a comma-separated list of named flags, which do various things:
|
|
|
|
``push_dump``
|
|
Dumps all pusbufs to stderr on submit. This requires that
|
|
``push_sync`` also be set.
|
|
``push_sync``
|
|
Waits for submit to complete before continuing
|
|
``zero_memory``
|
|
Zeros all VkDeviceMemory objects upon creation
|
|
|
|
:envvar:`NVK_I_WANT_A_BROKEN_VULKAN_DRIVER`
|
|
If defined to ``1`` or ``true``, this will enable enumeration of all
|
|
GPUs Kepler and later, including GPUs for which hardware support is
|
|
poorly tested or completely broken. This is intended for developer use
|
|
only.

Hardware Documentation
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
What little documentation we have can be found in the `NVIDIA open-gpu-doc
|
|
repository <https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-doc>`__. The majority of
|
|
our documentation comes in the form of class headers which describe the
|
|
class state registers.
