The headline number is around a 76x improvement for the OpenCL kernel latency from the new Intel Compute Runtime! With the work around Lunar Lake Ultra Low Latency Scheduling (ULLS) the kernel latency was one of the numbers I was most interested in seeing.... Indeed it's a huge improvement with the kernel latency dropping from 132 micro-seconds to under 2 micro-seconds.
👁 Darktable benchmark with settings of Test: Masskrug, Acceleration: OpenCL. May CR was the fastest.
The Intel Compute Runtime improvements for Lunar Lake were also paying off when it came to the OpenCL performance with the Darktable RAW photography software.
The Hashcat OpenCL software also saw some subtle improvements with this month's Compute Runtime update.
