Ubuntu 23.04 Preparing To Land Its Linux 6.2 Based Kernel

Intel's Open-Source Linux Compute Stack Maturing Very Well For Arc Graphics

news.movim.eu / Phoronix • 13 March, 2023

From early December to late February there was an absence of new Compute-Runtime updates for that open-source stack for providing OpenCL and oneAPI Level Zero support for Intel graphics hardware on Linux. It was out of trend as they worked to move from a weekly~biweekly release rhythm to a monthly release cadence while taking extra time for making various other changes too. After that three month lull, they are back to pushing out new compute updates and damn it's looking nice. At least in my testing, the progress they've quietly made over the past few months has been very nice for the compute stack compatibility/support and performance.
