NVIDIA Turing adaptation of gpu-unlock Visit this page to support the original author https://buymeacoffee.com/zagitta Tensor cores draw very high power. Unlocking them to full speed may damage your hardware. Use at your own risk. This is a Linux kernel module. It unlocks the full speed FP16 tensor core of the NVIDIA TU102 GPU. The module writes two speed selectors. SS0 becomes 0x88888888. SS1 becomes 0x8. The payload also releases ACR mutex 3. Then the GPU returns through the normal Booter finalize path. Tested on the Dell RTX 2080 Ti 22GB (10de:1e07) with NVIDIA driver 575.51.03. Both the proprietary driver and the open driver work. Other cards or other driver is not tested. TFLOPS of cuBALS FP16 matrix multiply with FP32 Accumulate on RTX 2080 Ti @250W 100%peak = 56.9 TFLOPS, claimed in NVIDIA Turing Architecture Whitepaper Run these commands: make install finds your distribution. It builds and installs the packages.…

Topics and intended use
No topics were included in the latest source metadata.
Review the README for scope, installation, examples and limitations. We do not run repository code or certify it.
Evaluate before installing
Review licensing and dependencies, inspect recent commits and unresolved issues, and test in an isolated environment before production use. Stars and forks alone cannot answer these questions.
