Fine for software compilers – very difficult to manage for hardware toolchains and roadmaps SO Khronos created hardware oriented SPIR-V with bidirectional translation to LLVM Same Industry Dynamics as LLVM and SPIR-V

Copyright © Khronos® Group Inc. 2018 - Page 13 Three Broad Inferencing Choices Run in training framework Export to inference runtime Compile to optimized code Acceleration needs high-level programming tools – typically large C++ applications E.g. TensorFlow or TensorFlow Lite The most popular industry choice today. Runtime often uses underlying acceleration APIs E.g. TensorRT, CoreML Often used to merge custom or vision code alongside inferencing runtime – generates LLVM for CPU + accelerated API code
