While NVIDIA isn't doing much to help out Nouveau, at least the company is contributing to the open-source Linux graphics ecosystem in other ways. In addition to presenting at XDC2017 this week on the Unix device memory allocator API and DeepColor / HDR support, they also presented on server-side GLVND.

One day after releasing updated GeForce Linux legacy drivers, NVIDIA is now out with an update to their long-lived 384 branch.

Besides working on the new Unix device memory allocator project, they have also been engaged with upstream open-source Linux developers over preparing the Linux desktop for HDR display support.

James Jones of NVIDIA presented this morning at XDC2017 with their annual update on a new Unix device memory allocation library. As a reminder, this library originated from NVIDIA's concerns over the Generic Buffer Manager (GBM) currently used by Wayland compositors not being suitable for use with their driver's architecture and then the other driver developers not being interested in switching to EGLStreams, NVIDIA's original push for supporting Wayland.

NVIDIA has issued new releases of its two legacy drivers for Linux.

For those wanting the bleeding-edge NVIDIA Vulkan driver support, a new beta was pushed out today providing same-day support for the Vulkan 1.0.61 update.

For those looking for a very capable ARM developer board but have previously been put off by the Jetson TX1 at $579 USD, they now have a $199 developer board.

NVIDIA today released the 384.69 Linux driver as their latest release in the 384 "long-lived" series.

NVIDIA is working on a new OpenGL memory usage reporting extension, NV_query_resource. Before anyone jumps though to bash NVIDIA over coming up with yet-another-memory-reporting extension for OpenGL, this one is aimed at reporting the usage at an object-level rather than just overall amounts.

NVIDIA's driver team has today released new Vulkan beta drivers for both Windows and Linux.

Just a quick PSA for NVIDIA binary Linux driver users wishing to play with the latest development kernel...

NVIDIA is ending out the week with their first release candidate of CUDA 9.

For NVIDIA Linux users read our OpenGL 4.6 overview if you haven't already and then go forth and download the new experimental driver.

NVIDIA's Unix graphics team has today released some updated binary display drivers.

For those with NVIDIA Jetson TX1/TX2 developer boards, the JetPack 3.1 software bundle is now available with NVIDIA's latest compute bits paired with the Linux 4.4 LTS kernel.

NVIDIA and Carnegie Mellon University have developed a new open-source shading language in step with a new compiler framework.

NVIDIA has once again managed a same-day driver update for matching a new Vulkan release.

At the end of June I posted some Vulkan vs. OpenGL Linux Game CPU Core Scaling using RADV/RadeonSI with a Polaris graphics card. At that time I also carried out some NVIDIA CPU core scaling results in a Vulkan vs. OpenGL manner, but simply forgot to post those numbers until now.

A few days back NVIDIA released the Vulkan 381.10.10 Linux beta that featured performance improvements as well as new Vulkan/OpenGL interoperability extensions. That beta driver has already been succeeded by a new driver.

Today NVIDIA released their first 384 series Linux driver beta and for the occasion I fired up some fresh OpenCL / Vulkan / OpenGL benchmarks in seeing if there are any performance changes for users to see with this new series that will eventually succeed the 381.22 stable release.

NVIDIA has today announced the 384.47 beta driver for Linux, which succeeds their current 381 short-lived stable release series.

With NVIDIA just releasing a new beta Vulkan driver that in addition to having new Vulkan extensions and better Vulkan/OpenGL interoperability also has "various performance improvements", I couldn't resist running some benchmarks.

NVIDIA quietly released a new Vulkan beta driver that offers up a number of new OpenGL and Vulkan extensions that haven't yet received widespread exposure. NVIDIA Vulkan users, meet the 381.10.10 release.

NVIDIA has made their TensorRT 2 library publicly available today as the newest major update to their deep-learning inference optimizer and run-time.

NVIDIA has today issued a new public Vulkan beta driver for Windows and Linux.

In CPU-bound Linux games, the NVIDIA Linux driver still appears to perform better than the newest RadeonSI Gallium3D code.

For those looking for a low-profile, single-slot graphics card for an HTPC box or so, more of them should be hitting the market in the form of NVIDIA's new GeForce GT 1030.

NVIDIA at their annual GPU Technology Conference (GTC'17) have provided more public details about the forthcoming CUDA 9 compute update.

NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang used the company's GPU Technology Conference to today announce the Volta V100 accelerator for data centers and HPC workloads.

NVIDIA's gaming software, GeForce Experience, now has support for OpenGL and Vulkan.
