Linux Adds Improved Power Management for Intel Arc Alchemist GPUs
Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA have been hard at work to make sure any new technology released now and in the future will be fully compatible with the upcoming Linux 5.19 kernel. Intel's open-source team has recently added a new update to the kernel for DG2/Arc Alchemist dGPU support and is looking to be in better standards than previously from Team Blue. The update created includes the addition of current IDs and support for compute tasks, allowing the latest kernel to offer enhanced power management handling for the Arc Alchemist family of graphics.

This worked fine in general, except for synchronization. The V3D kernel interface only supported one synchronization object per submission. This didn’t properly map with Vulkan synchronization, which is more detailed and complex, and allowed defining several semaphores/fences. We initially handled the situation with workarounds, and left some optional features as unsupported.
