• Host Security ID (HSI)
  • HSI is being used by customers to list requirements for x86 servers. This is not well supported on Arm platforms.

• AOB
  • Andy Waffa: Do we want to do anything around UXL or acceleration?
    
    • Leonardo: This is a recurrent topic in the Data Center Group, but we never got consensus around it.
    • Members agreed to bring to the next meeting their requirements around UXL and whether they can contribute engineers to this work inside Linaro.
    • Andy Waffa: The general assessment at Arm is that oneAPI works on Arm64, but it is definitely not optimized.
