The proof-of-concept is basic, lacking multi-GPU support and advanced features, but already passes all ROCR tests and most AMDKFD and HIP tests. Challenges remain in multi-GPU code paths, migration logic, and vRAM-to-vRAM migration. RFC patches have been posted to the dri-devel mailing list for community discussion. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
