- Kubectl: Add `--use-protocol-buffers` flag to kubectl top pods and nodes. ([#96655](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96655), [@serathius](https://github.com/serathius))

    memory usage.
*   Fixed bfloat16 integration of LIBXSMM sparse mat-mul.
*   Improved performance and reduce memory usage by allowing ops to forward
    input buffers to output buffers and perform computations in-place.
*   Improved the performance of CPU assignment for strings.
*   Speed up matrix * vector multiplication and matrix * matrix with unknown
    shapes.

- `Scheduler` now registers event handlers dynamically. ([#101394](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101394), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei))
- `kubectl`: Enable using protocol buffers to request Metrics API. ([#102039](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102039), [@serathius](https://github.com/serathius))
