Phoronix: AMD Wants To Know If You'd Like Ryzen AI Support On Linux

With the newest AMD Ryzen 7040 series laptops there is "Ryzen AI" as a dedicated AI engine based on Xilinx IP to help accelerate machine learning with the likes of PyTorch and TensorFlow. Sadly though this Ryzen AI with their new Zen 4 laptops is only supported under Microsoft Windows at this point. But it could change with sufficient customer interest...

A GUI control panel would be more beneficial than this.

- and. Once AMD does bring Ryzen AI to Linux, guess how I would adjust the AI settings? Yep. The same panel most likely.

How about open sourcing stuff so we can help develop for free? Oh... That's right, you'd be revealing backdoors and the like - because why else wouldn't you want free world class help on your firmware, PSP and microcode? Because we all learned that "security via obscurity" is a terrible strategy during kindergarten compsec class, didn't we?

They have ROCm which doesn't have GUI, why this feature will need one? Just add a support with cli interface for Linux at least.

No, I'd rather you deliver on the other 15 or so Radeon features that Windows has and Linux still doesn't have yet.

As a keyboard warrior all my life, it's finally my time to shine. I vote yes AMD! Yes I definitely changed the distribution.

Do you want more or less? Is that even a question?

By 2-3 years time whatever computer system doesn't have AI will be severely impaired.
I believe we should try and strongly support at least a first implementation of Linux support.

What AI can be useful on Linux? Generste scripts? Trolling on blogs? Write klingon poems?

https://gitlab.com/corectrl/corectrl can be used today. IMO not worse than Windows one. Power of opensource.

The problem here is that a firmware is basically a detailed description of the hardware. And I can understand why vendors don't want to opensource that, though I agree with you.
