Red Hat's Nova: A Rust-Based GPU-Only Driver for NVIDIA GPUs

The video discusses Red Hat's new project called Nova, which aims to be a replacement for the Novo open-source NVIDIA drivers. Nova is a Rust-based GPU-only driver targeting 20 series or newer NVIDIA GPUs with the goal of decreasing the complexity of the driver compared to Novo. The video also delves into the challenges and benefits of using Rust in kernel space, as well as the early stages of development and the need for community feedback. Additionally, it clarifies that Nova is not a replacement for nvk, a user space Vulkan driver for open-source NVIDIA drivers, and raises concerns about the project's name and its uniqueness.
