That's my doing. 😀

The support is very basic and mostly just offers convenience for enabling the relevant extensions. Beside that there's only L1 cache line size info.
I hope to do more work on this in the future to add a scheduling model, which should hopefully offer a decent speedup. There's probably quite a few quirks due to Nvidia's "Dynamic Code Optimization".

The Technical Reference Manual (TRM) is a good 8500 pages. Everything's documented down to full hardware register descriptions. Well, everything except the GPU.

That's the best part of Phoronix, it is like a huge bar where open source developer gathers to share what they have been doing last week

Thank you for this. 8500 pages, wow. That's like the intel reference architecture manuals.
