In linux kernel since version 4.14.326 (release Date: 2023-09-23)
Framework for device drivers of compute acceleration devices, such
as, but not limited to, Machine-Learning and Deep-Learning
acceleration devices.
If you say Y here, you need to select the module that's right for
your acceleration device from the list below.
This framework is integrated with the DRM subsystem as compute
accelerators and GPUs share a lot in common and can use almost the
same infrastructure code.
Having said that, acceleration devices will have a different
major number than GPUs, and will be exposed to user-space using
different device files, called accel/accel* (in /dev, sysfs
and debugfs).
