Subject: [PATCH v3] rust: core: implement rx580 state optimization engine and c-to-rust char dev
Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2026 18:04:45 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260630210445.23103-1-breno3011alves@gmail.com> (raw)
This patch introduces an automated indexed state mechanism to optimize
VRAM latency and command loops for the Radeon RX 580 architecture.
Additionally, it provides a converted C-to-Rust sample char driver.
