The Chimera Software Development Kit (SDK) from Quadric is a comprehensive environment designed to enhance the development of application code for the Chimera GPNPU. This toolkit supports a wide array of data parallel algorithms, whether expressed as machine learning graphs or traditional C++ code, allowing developers to create sophisticated AI applications with ease.
The SDK is available both online, through Quadric's Developer Studio, and as a Docker image for offline use. This flexibility enables developers to leverage optimized C++ preprocessing and postprocessing kernels alongside machine learning models for rapid application prototyping and testing. By integrating these elements, developers can fine-tune and optimize their code using the robust Quadric toolchain.
A key component of the SDK is the Chimera Graph Compiler, which efficiently transforms machine learning models into optimized C++ code for execution on the Chimera GPNPU. Through advanced optimizations, including graph simplification and memory bandwidth usage enhancement, the SDK supports the development of flexible, high-performance AI applications that align with evolving technology needs.
The Chimera SDK empowers developers to continuously innovate and adapt to new challenges in AI processing, paving the way for enhanced productivity and application performance across various sectors.
