GITHUB - ZAGITTA / GPU - UNLOCK : UNLOCK FP / BF16 INSTRUCTION ISSUE RATE ON NVIDIA 3000 CARDS TO THEIR PROFESSIONAL EQUIVALENTS

What happened: A Linux kernel module from the gpu-unlock project (Zagitta) unlocks FP/BF16 instruction issue rates on Nvidia GA102, GA103, GA104 and GA106 cards to match their professional equivalents, running before the unmodified NVIDIA driver binds the card. Key numbers: FP16 87.46 to 118.39 TFLOPS; BF16 87.50 to 157.41 TFLOPS; TF32 42.58 to 82.61 TFLOPS. Speed selectors SS0 0x88888888 and SS1 0x8. Why it matters: The module avoids manual patching for each new NVIDIA driver release, and it re-applies the unlock after suspend to RAM, which resets the speed selectors.
