Intel has integrated Transparent Huge Pages (THP) support into its Xe GPU kernel driver to enhance Shared Virtual Memory (SVM) performance for AI and high-performance computing applications. This update allows the use of larger 2MB memory pages, improving memory handling efficiency and TLB performance, while also introducing multi-device SVM support in Linux kernel 7.0. These advancements aim to strengthen Intel's competitive edge against Nvidia and AMD in data centers and HPC environments.
