Last year Intel and AMD formed an x86 Ecosystem Advisory Group “EAG” in collaboration with key partners. The x86 Ecosystem Advisory Group is to collaborate and innovate further around the x86_64 ISA. With AMD and Intel in agreement, FRED (Flexible Return Event Delivery), AVX10, and Advanced Performance Extensions (APX) are some of the early areas where they are finding common ground and interest.
Robert Hormuth as the CVP of Architecture and Strategy, Data Center Solutions Group at AMD wrote a post on LinkedIn around the x86 EAG collaboration.
There the AMD executive commented on the x86 EAG early successes:
“Early wins to build on – and more to share in the coming days…
FRED (Flexible Return and Event Delivery) – a modernized interrupt model that cuts latency and improves systems software reliability.
AVX10 & APX – next generation vector and general purpose instruction set extensions that boost throughput while keeping code portable across client, workstation and server CPUs.”
Great seeing AMD getting behind FRED that will be found in Intel’s upcoming processors. And then very exciting that they are collaborating on Advanced Vector Extensions 10 and Advanced Performance Extensions (APX) for presumably then finding them with future AMD processors.
