# nlzy/turing-unlock

> A Linux kernel module that unlocks the full FP16 tensor core speed on NVIDIA Turing GPUs (TU102, e.g. RTX 2080 Ti). It boosts FP16 matrix multiply with FP32 accumulate throughput, but may damage hardware.

- Magnitude: 5.8 out of 10 — Early signal
- Stars: 166 total · +46 stars measured 2026-10-26, 02:16–05:41 UTC, ≈ 157 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic
- Category: Hardware, IoT & robotics · Language: C · Created: 2026-10-24 · Last push: 2026-10-24

## Useful for

- Speed up FP16 matrix multiply workloads on an RTX 2080 Ti under Linux
- Build and install the module as a deb/rpm/Arch package via make install
- Enable the unlock for a specific card by PCI address via kernel cmdline

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-26 (UTC), 02:16–05:41: 120 → 166 stars (+46). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +157 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 2 days old and already has 166 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #108.
- About 33 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: 24
- Issues and pull requests: 14
- Watchers: 1
- Average over the last week: 108 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 9

## Stars per day, last 3 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

2026-10-24 … 2026-10-26: 33, 134, 46

## Spotted in now

- Top new repositories this week: #108

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.
