Intel NPU Driver Being Refactored For More Versatile CPU+NPU Handling

Intel's open-source NPU "iVPU" Linux kernel driver for supporting their Neural Processing Unit beginning with Core Ultra "Meteor Lake" processors is already seeing a code refactoring. The refactoring of this Intel accelerator driver is intended for allowing more versatile CPU and NPU combinations moving forward. Meanwhile earlier this year brought an open-source AMD "XDNA" driver for Ryzen AI on Linux but we haven't seen too much activity there nor any communications around trying to upstream that kernel driver or what all they have as far as Ryzen AI support plans on Linux.About The AuthorMichael Larabel is the principal author of Phoronix.com and founded the site in 2004 with a focus on enriching the Linux hardware experience.
