AMD POSTS LINUX PATCHES FOR BETTER GRAPHICS/COMPUTE INTEROPERABILITY & OTHER
BENEFITS

AMD today posted a set of interesting patches for enabling better integration of
their AMDKFD (Kernel Fusion Driver, what is their compute kernel driver) memory
management with Linux's DRM GEM ioctl API. In turn the code allows managing
virtual address (VA) mappings in compute VMs with the GEM_VA ioctl interface for
greater control of buffers imported via DMA-BUF...

INTEL ARC GRAPHICS A580 ON LINUX: OPEN-SOURCE GRAPHICS FOR UNDER $200

Last week Intel announced the Arc Graphics A580 as a new mid-range DG2/Alchemist

the higher-end Arc Graphics A750/A770. With the Arc Graphics A580 coming in at
under $200, it's quite an interesting graphics card for those after open-source
Linux driver support and/or those wanting to experiment with Intel's growing
oneAPI software ecosystem with excellent open-source GPU compute support.
