The CLA provides a CPU-local, accelerator-agnostic interface for programming attached accelerators, supporting up to eight at once with cooperation between them. The initial target is a compute engine. While the kernel-side prototype code is now public, a user-space driver is still being prepared for open-sourcing with no ETA given. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
