Hey, 

We can certainly talk about it and explore a bit more on the request.

Hello,

Do you plan to migrate some of the GPU-Open repos to this Gitlab org ? Or is it for a very distant future as the priority for the next years is on Wayland AMD-specific optimisations/interfaces/protocols ? (or give in to the second principle of thermodynamics :D )

Introducing AMDGPU Composition Stack (ACS).

ACS is simply AMD's fork of Weston compositor, with some additional advanced features. We have created ACS considering the following primary goals in mind:

• To act as a staging area for Wayland features to be open-sourced to mainline Weston project.
• To act as a reference compositor for AMD's advanced graphics and display feature development.
• To provide a middleware compositor which extracts the best out of AMD Display and Graphics HW (We don't mind being biased to AMDGPU HW 🙂)
• To host some of the AMD HW specific code, which can't be merged in Weston mainline due to its bias towards AMD HW.
• To be utilised in full stack opensource delivery vehicle for AMDs commercial solutions and products.
• To be the space where AMD specific in-house SW tools (performance tweakers, multimedia players, 3D games, profiling tools etc) can be saved in future.

ACS project is hosted here:

A detailed wiki of introduction to ACS, its features and feature roadmap can be found here:

The details about additional features implemented in ACS are documented here:

PS: We are yet to deploy a CI/CD build for ACS project.
