Phoronix: Linux 6.7 Will Allow More Efficient Use With Intel QAT Gen4 Hardware

With the Linux 6.7 kernel this winter there is a new feature coming to Intel's QuickAssist Technology (QAT) device driver that will allow more efficient use with QAT Gen4 hardware such as the latest-generation Intel Xeon Scalable "Sapphire Rapids" processors...

Intel and AMD are now using chiplet designs, so I think they ought to stuff in a RISC-V core in there.

Typo

"By allowing the single DCC request to hash and then immediately compress the data it sames some overhead and the latency involved in making multiple requests to the QAT hardware."

I think you meant "saves"

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

AMD and Intel are using a chiplet design where they can place many different cores on one CPU, so they CPU with 8 energy efficient cores, 8 high performance cores, then a GPU core.
Intel have P-cores, E-cores and Xe cores. So they could add a RISC-V core and offload things on that core. Maybe things like hashing, crypto, encoding or decoding, I don't know.

You mean like qat and amds version? Like, the ones that already exist....

Besides, they have no incentive to develop yet another core just to do risc-v.....

Was some messed up HTML, fixed now. Thanks.
