The open-source Mesa driver developers employed by Valve for working on the Linux graphics stack have begun preparing the RADV Vulkan driver and the ACO compiler back-end for the upcoming “GFX12” graphics IP for next-generation RDNA4.
The open-source AMD Linux graphics stack has been abuzz the past few months with GFX12 preparations for this next-gen graphics IP succeeding GFX11 used by RDNA3 class hardware.
Landing this week was GFX12 assembler support within the ACO compiler back-end by Rhys Perry.
Overnight Rhys opened up another merge request for GFX12 wait counters in ACO.
Yesterday well known RADV developer Samuel Pitoiset of Valve opened this merge request with small preliminary changes to be done before adding the GFX12 support: “A bunch of context register moved on GFX12 and this MR contains small changes to simplify adding GFX12 support.”
Over on the kernel side, the new AMD IP blocks continue to be enabled within the AMDGPU and AMDKFD drivers.
