NVIDIA GPU Device Detector

Detects NVIDIA GPU devices and driver status on the system.

Overview

The NVIDIA detector identifies NVIDIA GPU hardware and driver availability using platform-specific checks:

Linux Detection

• /dev/nvidia[0-9]+ device files for hardware detection
• nvidia-smi utility presence for driver verification

Windows Detection

• Windows registry check for VEN_10DE (NVIDIA vendor ID) for hardware detection
• nvidia-smi.exe utility presence for driver verification

Status Results

• READY: NVIDIA devices detected and drivers are loaded
• NEEDS_SETUP/NVIDIA_DRIVER: NVIDIA devices detected but drivers are not loaded
• Returns ErrIncompatibleDetector if no NVIDIA devices are found
