Intel GPU Issue Hinders OpenCL on Ubuntu Systems
In a recent report published on Launchpad, the bug tracking platform for Ubuntu, a significant issue has been flagged concerning the Intel Compute Runtime package, specifically under bug ID 2110131. The report highlights a critical problem for users relying on Intel’s OpenCL implementation on Ubuntu systems, pointing to a failure in the runtime’s ability to properly initialize or detect Intel GPU platforms in certain configurations. For industry…
Sometimes you have to choose: security or performance. Canonical and Intel have apparently made that choice – against the overly cautious security dogmatism and for a few solid percentage points more graphics performance. And who can blame them? When you spend years chasing a ghost that never materializes, you might as well call for a ghost hunt. [...] Source
Disabling Intel Graphics Security Mitigations boosts compute performance — 20% uplift from setting change that even Intel employs, despite unknown security risk
Disabling security mitigations for Intel GPUs in Intel's GPU compute stack for OpenCL and Level Zero can allegedly boost performance by up to 20%.
While we're used to side channel attacks on both AMD and Intel CPUs ending up affecting the performance of their processors, what happens in GPU when it arises, it doesn't really go that far. And that that the graphics cards as such have a greater prominence, and the security patches are given equally, although they do it by software to definitely close gaps, in today's case it's not so much. And it's that Intel and Canonical, the manufacturer o…
Current graphics processors from Intel are to be slowed down by up to 20 percent faster and in the future no longer by the security reductions by the so-called Intel Graphics Security Mitigations under Linux.
