Hello XDNA!

We're documenting how to program AMD's NPUs in Ryzen AI chips.

Our website covers the ISA, register files, operation latencies, and hand-optimized assembly kernels for tensor contractions.

Measured single-compute-tile throughput:
• XDNA1 (Ryzen 7 8700G): 398 BF16 GFLOPS (86% of peak)
• XDNA2 (Ryzen AI Max PRO 390): 1760 BFP16 GFLOPS (95% of peak)

My honest thought?

Xbox is waiting to cook something with AMD and XDNA2, their proprietary AI/ML accelerator unit.

XDNA2 comes out commercially this year. Microsoft should provide access through DirectML.

I think Sony just modified XDNA1 and rebranded it for graphics.

#AMD has published a blog where it provides a setup guide on how to utilize its hardware to run your very own localized #chatbot powered by #GPT-based #LLM (#LargeLanguageModel) on a diverse range of hardware such as the #Ryzen #AI PCs which include #Ryzen7000 & #Ryzen8000 #APU featuring the #XDNA #NPU along with the latest #Radeon7000 #GPU which feature AI accelerator cores.

#AMD Publishes #XDNA #Linux Driver: Support For #Ryzen #AI On Linux
The XDNA driver will work with AMD Phoenix/#Strix SoCs so far having #RyzenAI onboard. AMD has tested the driver to work on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS but you will need to be running the Linux 6.7 kernel or newer with IOMMU SVA support enabled. The #Xilinx XRT software also needs to be built to work with this kernel driver. So far is a simple test script for verifying that your driver stack is currently setup.

#CES 2024 摘要： AI PC 產品線正在布局 #NPU 成為新的消費級電腦規格

2023 年的硬體市場中
NPU 這個元件不斷被提及
甚至在 #Intel Core ultra 系列產品上市時
使用對應 CPU 的 Windows 筆電在工作管理員上還會有獨立的 Intel NPU 欄位顯示其使用率

NPU 全名 #神經網路處理器 手機的 CPU 中已經可以見到
最早是在 Snapdragon 855 中整合在 CPU 中
嘗試透過 NPU 來改善相機拍攝與特定遊戲效能
也能分擔 CPU 中其他元件的運算

雖然在 intel 曾經在部分的低功耗處理器上實作過類似的處理單元
但也是到了 2023 才正式將 NPU 作為一個整合性元件與品牌向大眾公開

AMD 雖然早在 2023 推出 #Ryzen 7040 處理器搭載 AMD #XDNA 作為 NPU 的對應元件
但是到了 2024 年正式發表 8000G 與對應的筆記型處理器後
相對應的軟體生態系才較為完善
AMD 還是吃了一波「先知」的虧啊

AMD’s Ryzen 8040 Mobile “Hawk Point” chips bring AI improvements… and not much else

When AMD’s Ryzen 7040 Mobile “Phoenix” processors launched earlier this year, they offered a lot of bang for the buck by combining up to 8 Zen 4 CPU cores with up to 12 RDNA 3 GPU compute units. They’re also the first x86 chips to feature an integrated NPU (neural processing unit) for on-device AI acceleration.

So what’s next from AMD? More of the same… mostly. The company has taken the […]
