In November of 2021, AMD announced the Instinct MI200 GPU accelerator for the Linux open-source driver support. The development was under "experimental" consideration for the "Aldebaran" graphics card as far back as February of last year. AMD's team of open-source developers are officially withdrawing the "experimental" labeling and now offering it for complete release on the Linux platform.

One year ago, AMD issued the initial Aldebaran Linux support and resumed working on the upstream Linux open-source support for the CDNA-based hardware accelerator. This was ahead of the official Instinct MI200 release. This Arcturus successor has evolved with new Linux kernel versions and is finalized in time for the official launch.
