Phoronix: Intel Prepares Linux Driver For Next-Gen VPU With Lunar Lake

With the upcoming Intel Meteor Lake processors is the introduction of the Versatile Processing Unit "VPU" IP block for computer vision and deep learning use-cases to provide better performance. Earlier this year with Linux 6.3 the iVPU driver was merged. Meteor Lake processors haven't even officially launched yet while already Intel's open-source engineers have begun enabling the next-gen VPU to be found with Lunar Lake processors...

Speaking of Lunar in regards to vision and learning, after a bit of experimenting and learning I finally took my first decent-enough picture of the Moon last night with my telescope. I used a Pentax KF in Pixel Shift mode, a Celestron Nexstar 8SE with an F/6.3 focal reducer, and did all the post-processing in RawTherapee.

ATi used to call GPUs, VPUs (Visual Processing Units).

And Intel used to call them Vision Processing Units.

Acronym salad!

skeevy420: very nice!

Thanks. After 40 minutes of trying stuff out I finally got one shot that I really liked...seconds before the clouds showed up. I lowered my exposure as much as possible, set a 1 sec shutter count, and kept lowering the shutter speed until I got one that looked decent.

APU, ASIC, CPU, DSP, FPGA, GPU, PPU, SPU, TPU, VPU with Ranch, hold the croutons. I'm trying to watch my figure.
