Yes, the idea is that the manufacturer is in the position of knowing the most efficient way to talk to it's gpu and the driver knows everything it's happening memory wise. It'd be interesting to have a prototype done in some open source linux driver. Tbh, I'm probably not good enough for that.

So why there is no TRIM support in Vista, or in Win7 for NVMe? Vista and Win7 use the same drivers, JFYI.

sorry missed 'So, in your opinion the driver issues TRIM, not the OS' from the previous reply. I never said that and that was not my point

my point was that an optional post delete cleanup feature was added to the protocol ready to be used, which is a perfect example on how to evolve long term features. then I said the post cleanup feature for the GPU should sit on the driver, since the GPU driver is the one knowing how to talk to the hardware, as there is not a shared protocol between boards (except vga modes etc but those contexts are memory mapped and os managed) and knows when a clear is performed, since all operations go trough it.

As I said, the driver does not know when to clear, same as HDD driver does not know when a file is deleted.
