    Phoronix: Intel NIR I/O Vectorization Ported From The AMD ACO Back-End - ~10% Performance Boost

    Lead Intel "ANV" open-source Vulkan driver developer Jason Ekstrand has ported an optimization from the Valve-backed AMD "ACO" compiler over to the NIR code-base for delivering some sizable performance improvements...

    Same old intel, does everything it can to prevent amd from doing their own contributions or god forbid, port intel contributions to benefit amd systems, but has no problem to borrow amd contributions to benefit intel systems... abhorrent...

      Intel's leeches, but in this case Open Source users benefit.

        Erm...hasn't amd adopted nir from intel? And radv is also based on anv, no?

          As far as I know, ACO is Valve's code, not Amd's

            Yes (I believe) and yes.

            But neither radv or ACO are developed by AMD, so technically, this isn't "Intel stealing from AMD", but rather "Intel benefitting from the community's hard work".

              And the whole community benefits from reciprocal adoption of good code - open source at its finest, as it looks to me

                Come on guys, open source is about collaboration which implies benefiting from the work of others.

                  Exactly, I hope they will both keep re-using as much code as possible. This is what open source is about, please stop spreading hate.

                    Last time I check ACO its a paid job from Valve, not a community effort, the devs are paid for that they simply maintain the code open nothing more
