Last year there was some ideas raised around potentially making use of the Linux kernel's IO_uring functionality for graphics drivers to help with better performance and synchronization. It turns out Qualcomm engineers have recently been exploring IO_uring use for the DRM accelerator drivers with very promising results on their Cloud AI hardware in seeing around 50% speed-ups in ioctl execution time. We'll see where this patch leads and what more performance/efficiency improvements may come by leveraging IO_uring within Direct Rendering Manager graphics and/or accelerator drivers.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.
