Stop dreaming, this will never happen, NVIDIA has long history of not disclosing details of their chips internals, and no sane programmer will waste time on the stuff from company that has longstanding attitude line NVIDIA's one. If you program that, I will say hooray, and simultaneously will tell you my condolences in advance as quite soon your driver will die because of lack on information from NVIDIA. Which I predict will happen even if you once get all information you need. This is my (and not only my) loooong observation.
