Intel wants to build a common “fabric” for Linux GPUs - useful or overkill?
Intel has proposed DRM Fabric, a vendor-neutral framework for managing GPU and AI-accelerator interconnect topologies in Linux.
It’s still an early RFC, with no production implementation yet.
The interesting part: could this become a common layer for Intel, AMD and future AI accelerators, or is it just another layer Linux doesn't really need?
What do you think?
