## What it is
A repository of NVIDIA documentation covering chip and hardware interfaces for open GPU development. It hosts technical specs and reference documents, versioned via git and viewable as HTML on GitHub Pages.

## Use cases
- find NVIDIA GPU register and interface documentation
- write a driver for NVIDIA open GPU hardware
- look up display class method specs
- understand GPU BIOS information tables
- track errata and updates to NVIDIA hardware docs

## When to choose
- you need authoritative NVIDIA hardware interface specs for driver or kernel development
- you want git-tracked, versioned GPU documentation

## When to avoid
- you need CUDA or API-level programming documentation rather than hardware interfaces
- you need proprietary GPU documentation not covered by the open GPU program

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: documentation
- domain: hardware, developer-tools, documentation
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: gpu, nvidia, hardware-interfaces, chip-documentation, open-gpu-kernel-driver
