So, qat is becoming more and more integrated in to intel cpus, however to use it you need some libs and plugins qatlib is the first one: https://github.com/intel/qatlib/tree/main And for openssl: https://github.com/intel/QAT_Engine/tree/master Or accelerating zstd: https://github.com/intel/QAT-ZSTD-Plugin Most of this is included in other distros, even fedora =)
There is nothing actionable in this ticket. If you want to start a general discussion of the topic, see the gentoo-dev mailing list. If you have specific changes to be made to some ebuilds, please create reports for each package to be modified and include a description of the changes to be made.
I think it's a request for the various QAT suite(s) to be packaged.
Correct, it's the fact that intel is pushing this in all their server grade cpus since some years and there is no support for it in gentoo. I pointed to three projects that could be packaged to speed operations up for users that want to use it.
