Following Vulkan Video H.264/H.265 video encoder support being merged into the FFmpeg library, the latest improvement for this open-source multimedia API when leveraging Vulkan is implicit DRM synchronization.

The Servo open-source browser layout engine has supported making use of the Firefox Devtools code for the provided web developer tools such as the HTML web page inspector and browser console

Back in June it was teased that Framework Computer in collaboration with DeepComputing would be releasing a RISC-V motherboard for the Framework Laptop 13

The media subsystem updates were submitted today for the Linux 6.12 kernel merge window

Linux 6.11 introduced the getrandom() in the vDSO support for faster yet secure user-space random number generation needs

AMD's GPUOpen team has released HIP RT 2.4 as the newest version of this open-source ray-tracing library built atop their HIP interface.

Months ago Intel Linux engineers began adapting the Linux kernel to end the assumptions made around 'Family 6' for Intel CPUs that had been used since the 90's with the Pentium Pro as the CPU family ID

An attempt at concise explanation of what io_uring is.

In these two most excellent articles,

withoutboats introduces the concepts of multi-task and intra-task concurrency.
I want to revisit this distinction -…

The Intel LPMD open-source project is a user-space daemon for optimizing active idle power handling on Linux and can be useful particularly for modern Intel Core hybrid processors

Going along with other early Linux kernel driver additions for enabling Panther Lake, the intel-lpss driver in Linux 6.12 has made its device ID additions for supporting Panther Lake H and Panther Lake P processors.

Merged as part of the memory management 'MM' changes for the Linux 6.12 kernel is a kernel stack usage histogram to help developers in better optimizing the kernel stack sizes and minimizing memory waste.

Intel used their Enterprise Tech Tour last week in Oregon to not only provide insight into the new Xeon 6900 'Granite Rapids' server processors (and Xeon 6980P benchmarks) but also to shed more light on their Gaudi 3 AI inference accelerator

Building off the launch earlier this year of the first Xeon 6 processors with the Xeon 6700E 'Sierra Forest' processors, today Intel is lifting the wraps on the much anticipated Xeon 6900P 'Granite Rapids' processors.

With the Intel Xeon 6900P 'Granite Rapids' launch today the review embargo has now expired.

NVIDIA engineers have sent out an exciting set of Linux kernel patches for enabling NVIDIA vGPU software support for virtual GPU support among multiple virtual machines (VMs)

While open-source enthusiasts like to criticize NVIDIA for not maintaining upstream, in-tree kernel graphics driver support (though things have been changing there), for other areas of their vast hardware portfolio they are much better upstream Linux kernel…
