This is amazing! This guy's gotta be some kind of genius! You can call it lucky if he did it one time, twice a coincidence, thrice is a pattern

thats not true they do not have an opensource user-space ... have fun with a out of tree kernel driver without an opensource user-space part

And what is this?

One of the patches does not appear to be passing code review. The optimization is considered unsafe when the media pipeline is selected.

lol it was weird how he could quickly find optimizations, it will be funny if his patches don't make it because of safety issues.

...wow

There's no nouveau vulkan driver yet unfortunately.

Still early stages but already at 90%+ Vulkan 1.0 conformance test suite passing

The future is exciting

NVIDIA has open sourced their driver.

2 questions, does this optimization only works for gen 11? if not will it make its way to the new vulkan driver for older intel igpus? and before someone says "haswell its not compatible with vulkan bla bla bla" my intel hd 400 is fully vulkan 1.3 compatible and is on the list of deprecated igpus.

After gifting optimizations to AMD, after gifting optimizations to Intel, now he's going to be gifting optimizations to N.... oh...

NVIDIA has open sourced their driver.
