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.

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.
