# JustAResearcher/gpu-unlock-ada

> A Linux kernel module that applies an SM speed-select override before the stock NVIDIA driver binds, roughly doubling FP16/BF16 tensor throughput with FP32 accumulation on RTX 4090 (AD102) and experimentally on RTX 4070 Ti SUPER (AD103).

## Useful for

- Build and install the module locally via make install for Arch, Debian or RPM.
- Enable the unlock at boot by passing the card's PCI address in gpu_unlock.targets.
- Measure FP16/BF16 tensor throughput gains on your RTX 4090 after a cold boot.

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-24 (UTC), 16:37–18:41: 182 → 398 stars (+216). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +262 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 1 day old and already has 398 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #47.
- About 215 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 54
- Issues and pull requests: 4
- Watchers: 3
- Average over the last week: 133 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 74
- Latest release: v1.1.1 (2026-10-24)

## Stars per day, last 2 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

   Linux kernel module that unlocks certain NVIDIA GA102/GA104 GPU features (e.g. RTX 3090) before the nvidia driver binds, using the CMP unlocker technique and UEFI timing. Requires a cold boot and opt-in via the gpu_unlock.targets kernel…

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
