Intel and AMD standardize ACE extensions to unify AI matrix compute on x86
Intel and AMD have released the official specification for AI Compute Extensions, or ACE, a standardized instruction set for future x86 processors. Developed through the x86 Ecosystem Advisory Group, these extensions aim to accelerate matrix multiplication and machine learning workloads directly on the CPU. By establishing a common technical standard, the two rivals intend to prevent market fragmentation and provide a consistent target for software developers.

Merged for Linux 7.1 was ARMM64 NEON-accelerated CRC64-NVMe support for around 6x the performance out of that checksumming algorithm. The generic code had been a bottleneck in NVMe and other storage subsystem code of the Linux kernel with CRC64-NVMe being used to help verify against data corruption.
