**oneDNN is an open-source, cross-platform library of optimized deep learning operations for CPUs and GPUs.** It provides highly optimized implementations of matrix multiplication, convolution, attention, normalization, and other operations, and is the acceleration layer behind PyTorch, TensorFlow, OpenVINO, and many other AI frameworks. The library is optimized for Intel 64/AMD64 architecture-based processors, Arm(R) 64-bit Architecture (AArch64)-based processors, and Intel Graphics. oneDNN has experimental support for the following architectures: NVIDIA\* GPU, AMD\* GPU, OpenPOWER\* Power ISA (PPC64), and IBMz\* (s390x). The oneDNN project is part of the [UXL Foundation]. [UXL Foundation]: https://www.uxlfoundation.org ## Highlights * **Single API, many devices:** The same code targets Intel 64/AMD64, AArch64, and RISC-V CPUs, and Intel GPUs. * **Hardware specialization:** oneDNN detects hardware features at runtime and JIT-generates kernels specialized for the instruction set, number of cores, and cache sizes. * **Low-precision inference:** Supports `f32`, `bf16`, `f16`, `f8`, `f4`, `u8`/`s8`, and `u4`/`s4` data types with various quantization schemes, including [OCP microscaling formats]. * **Operation fusion:** Post-ops fuse activations, residual connections, and quantization into matmul and convolution. The [Graph API] fuses larger patterns such as scaled dot-product attention (SDPA) and grouped-query attention (GQA). * **Interoperability:** Supports OpenMP, TBB, and custom threadpools on CPUs, and SYCL and OpenCL on GPUs. [OCP microscaling formats]: https://www.opencompute.org/documents/ocp-microscaling-formats-mx-v1-0-spec-final-pdf [Graph API]: https://uxlfoundation.github.io/oneDNN/dev_guide_graph_basic_concepts.html ## Used By oneDNN is integrated into the following frameworks and applications. Deep learning practitioners should use one of these rather than oneDNN directly: * [Apache SINGA](https://singa.apache.org) * [DeepLearning4J\*](https://deeplearning4j.konduit.ai) * [Flashlight\*](https://github.com/flashlight/flashlight) * [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp) * [ONNX Runtime](https://onnxruntime.ai) * [OpenNMT CTranslate2](https://github.com/OpenNMT/CTranslate2) * [OpenVINO(TM) toolkit](https://github.com/openvinotoolkit/openvino) * [PaddlePaddle\*](https://www.paddlepaddle.org) * [PyTorch\*](https://pytorch.org) * [TensorFlow\*](https://www.tensorflow.org) ## Quick Start Install pre-built oneDNN from [conda-forge]: ```sh conda install -c conda-forge onednn ``` Build and run the [matrix multiplication performance example], which measures matmul throughput for `f32`, `f16`, `bf16`, and `s8` data types: ```sh wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/uxlfoundation/oneDNN/main/examples/matmul_perf.cpp \ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/uxlfoundation/oneDNN/main/examples/example_utils.hpp g++ matmul_perf.cpp -I$CONDA_PREFIX/include -L$CONDA_PREFIX/lib \ -ldnnl -o matmul_perf LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$CONDA_PREFIX/lib ./matmul_perf cpu ``` Next steps: * [Examples and Tutorials] cover quantization, fusion, Graph API, GPU execution, and more. * [Build from Source] to customize the build.

[CMake]: https://cmake.org/download/ [Doxygen]: https://www.doxygen.nl/download.html#srcbin [Doxyrest]: https://github.com/vovkos/doxyrest [Sphinx]: https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/installation.html [sphinx-book-theme]: https://sphinx-book-theme.readthedocs.io/en/latest [sphinx-copybutton]: https://sphinx-copybutton.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ [graphviz]: https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/8.2/general/graphviz.html #### CPU Engine The oneDNN CPU engine is used to execute primitives on Intel 64/AMD64-based processors, 64-bit Arm Architecture (AArch64) processors, 64-bit Power ISA (PPC64) processors, IBMz (s390x), RISC-V 64-bit (RV64) processors, and compatible devices. The CPU engine is built by default but can be disabled at build time by setting `ONEDNN_CPU_RUNTIME` to `NONE`. In this case, the GPU engine must be enabled. The CPU engine can be configured to use the OpenMP, TBB, SYCL, or threadpool runtime. The following additional requirements apply: * OpenMP runtime requires C++ compiler with OpenMP 2.0 or later standard support * TBB runtime requires [Threading Building Blocks (TBB)] 2017 or later * SYCL runtime requires * [Intel oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler] * [Threading Building Blocks (TBB)] Some implementations rely on OpenMP 4.0 SIMD extensions. For the best performance results on Intel Architecture Processors, we recommend using the [Intel oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler]. [Threading Building Blocks (TBB)]: https://www.threadingbuildingblocks.org/ [Intel oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler]: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/tools/oneapi/dpc-compiler.html On a CPU based on Arm AArch64 architecture, oneDNN CPU engine can be built with [Arm Compute Library (ACL)] integration. ACL is an open-source library for machine learning applications and provides AArch64-optimized implementations of core functions. This functionality currently requires that ACL is downloaded and built separately. See the [Build from Source] section of the Developer Guide for details. The minimum supported version of ACL is 53.1.0. [Arm Compute Library (ACL)]: https://github.com/arm-software/ComputeLibrary #### GPU Engine The oneDNN GPU engine is used to execute primitives on various accelerators including Intel integrated and discrete GPUs, NVIDIA GPUs, AMD GPUs, and other devices supporting the SYCL programming language. The GPU engine is disabled in the default build configuration and can be enabled by setting the `ONEDNN_GPU_RUNTIME` build option to a value other than `NONE`. The target accelerator vendor must be selected at build time using the `ONEDNN_GPU_VENDOR` build option. > **WARNING** > > Linux resets the GPU when kernel runtime exceeds several seconds. The user > can prevent this behavior by [disabling hangcheck] for Intel GPU driver. > Windows has a built-in [timeout detection and recovery] mechanism that results > in similar behavior. The user can prevent this behavior by increasing the > [TdrDelay] value.
