UACCE Userspace Accelerator Framework

UACCE (Unified/User-space Accelerator) is a kernel framework that lets userspace programs talk directly to hardware accelerators such as compression, crypto, and AI engines while sharing the CPU's address space with them. It is infrastructure used by accelerator drivers (notably HiSilicon's Kunpeng platform) rather than a driver for any specific chip.

recommendation

This is not actually a hardware driver directory; it is a shared core framework that other accelerator drivers build on top of to expose their devices to userspace. Evaluating it for keep-or-remove on hardware-availability grounds does not apply.

Not a driver directory: contains the UACCE accelerator userspace/core framework, not hardware-specific device driver code.
