GPU Upload Heaps does not require anything from the user other than having Resizable Bar enabled on compatible hardware along with up-to-date drivers. Another good reason for D3D12 to expose Resizable BAR is that some performance testing on some platforms has shown that games perform better with resizeable BAR enabled.” With a resizable bar, Windows will renegotiate the size of a GPU’s BAR in WDDM Version 2.0 and later. However, now there are a lot of GPUs that support a resizable base address register(also known as Resizable BAR). So we can’t provide any guarantees around it, at which point it seemed like a bad idea to expose it to apps. If app A comes in and allocates all 256MB, then app B wouldn’t be able to allocate any. A bigger problem was that it’s not a properly virtualizable resource. D3D chose not to expose this because the I/O region for a frame buffer is usually only 256MB, which is not that useful. It used to be typical for a discrete GPU to have only a small portion of its frame buffer exposed over the PCI bus. Microsoft explains that this new feature addresses an issue where apps could not fully access the frame buffer of a discreet video GPU. GPU Upload Heaps is another function that can be utilized as a part of Resizable BAR to improve performance by eliminating the need to copy data between the CPU and GPU. The feature is called GPU Upload Heaps and is available in the Agility SDK 1.710.0. To verify the system has undergone recertification.Microsoft has released a new DirectX 12 update that can allow both processors to simultaneously access GPU memory.

Consumers should look for their platform on the Red Hat Hardware Certification Catalog:

OEMs and Vendors who previously certified under RHEL7 should also undergo recertification with RHEL8.3 or later in order to retain their certified/supported status. In order to maintain a certified/supported status, platforms where Rome (Zen2) CPUs are updated to Milan (Zen3), must have their operating system upgraded from RHEL7 to RHEL8.3 or later. While the AMD EPYC Zen2 (Rome) and Zen3 (Milan) processors are electronically compatible, Red Hat does not support in-place upgrades of Zen2 to Zen3 CPUs on systems running RHEL7. Environment:ĪMD EPYC Zen2 Platforms that have had their CPUs updated from Zen2 (Rome) CPUs to Zen3 (Milan) CPUs. Systems that have had their CPUs updated from Zen2 (Rome) to Zen3 (Milan) must also have their Operating Systems updated to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.3 or later, in order to maintain their certified/supported status by Red Hat. AMD EPYC Zen3 (Milan) Processors are not supported on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
