Windows 11 24H2’s new feature could help some apps run faster | Laptop News

Windows 11 24H2 will arrive in September or October on AMD and Intel PCs. While it’s widely believed that the Windows 11 24H2 is more about AI, this is not entirely true. Windows 11 2024 Update has several other features, including a new API that could help apps run faster.

I’ve been digging through the support documents to better understand the new features coming in Windows 11 24H2. We have already highlighted the WDDM 3.2 release, but a new feature called “User-mode work submission” deserves more attention. In a support document, Microsoft describes this WDDM feature as a way to run apps faster.

First spotted by Windows Latest, the official document claims that Windows 11 24H2 allows the apps to communicate faster with GPU. This allows the apps in Windows 11 version 24H2 to quickly send small tasks to the GPU, which results in lower latency and improved performance.

For example, if you’re using a graphics-intensive program, like a video editor, these apps constantly send small chunks of work to the GPU. With user-mode work submission, this process becomes much faster. The delay is reduced because the app can directly submit their request to use GPU.

“The goal is to improve performance of applications that submit small workloads frequently to the GPU,” Microsoft noted in a support document. “In addition, user-mode submission is expected to significantly benefit such applications if they’re running inside a container or virtual machine (VM),” the company added.

Microsoft explains that Windows 11 24H2 uses “GPU doorbells,” which notify the GPU when new tasks are added to its queue. There are two models:

  • Global Doorbells: All tasks share a single notification mechanism, which the GPU checks…
