Beginning with this release, NVIDIA has begun shipping an improved health and
diagnostic tool called the NVIDIA Validation Suite, or NVVS for short. It is included
in this GDK alongside Healthmon. The initial version of NVVS is very similar to
Healthmon in functionality, but built on a more robust framework. Future
versions of NVVS will see substantial new features and tests.
 
Accordingly the current version of Healthmon is being deprecated in this release.
It is still fully supported and will remain so for this driver release cycle. Please begin
looking at the associated NVVS material to plan ahead for that transition. If there are
any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact cudatools@nvidia.com.
