AMD User Queue Mesa Support Merged For Linux - Submitting Work Directly To The GPU
After an exciting day yesterday of Vulkan 1.4 driver support arriving in Mesa 25.0 drivers, there is more exciting code that was merged today for Mesa 25.0: the AMDGPU code now allows for user queue support on the latest Linux kernels for submitting rendering work directly to the GPU hardware.
After an exciting day yesterday of Vulkan 1.4 driver support arriving in Mesa 25.0 drivers, there is more exciting code that was merged today for Mesa 25.0: the AMDGPU code now allows for user queue support on the latest Linux kernels for submitting rendering work directly to the GPU hardware. In turn this can allow for a latency and efficiency win with job submission directly to the GPU hardware and avoiding some of the kernel driver overhead. It will be interesting to see the impact ultimately that this user queue support brings to Linux gamers and the like.
