This sounds like a perfect configuration to RE the inter-GPU
communication used by GPUdirect. I don't have time right now to look at
it, but I should be able to prepare some good instructions next week.
Basically we'd need to do a combo mmiotrace + valgrind-mmt trace of a
CUDA application utilising GPUdirect calls in various modes.
The 3d SLI functionality, as tested by me on double-nv50 under linux,
appears to be implemented entirely using "normal" features - the special
inter-GPU transfer circuitry is set up, but never actually used. May
still be worth a trace on nvc0, though.
