Subject: [PATCH v2 00/15] misc: nnpi: New PCIe driver for Intel's NNP-I pcie device
Hi,
The following series is a driver for a new PCIe device from Intel named NNP-I
(Nirvana Neural Processor for Inference). NNP-I is a PCIe connected compute
device used for acceleration of AI deep learning inference applications in the
data-center.
The reason that this driver should be in the kernel is that it aims to serve
multiple users and user-space applications which might share the same NNP-I
card. Workloads from multiple applications can be processed simultanously by
the NNP-I card if enough compute resources exist.
Overview of the NNP-I device, driver structure and ABIs used in the driver is in
patch#1, which adds the info as a document as it might be a useful info for
anyone trying to understand the driver even past review.
In order to ease the review process, there will be multiple series for the
entire driver code. This is the first series, and it implements everything
necessary to initialize the NNP-I device and allow a user-space inference
application to use it. Other features, which are mostly related to maintenance,
device status visibility and error-handling, will be submitted on the next stage.
A basic user-space library and test application which illustrates the flow of
an NNP-I inference application can be found here: https://github.com/IntelAI/nnpi-host
(This series is enough for the test application to run)
This patchset has gone through internal review inside Intel, the summary of the
change log from the internal review follows.
I would appreciate any feedback, questions or comments to this series.
Changes in v2:
- Removed email disclaimer added to the end of each patch.
- Small fix to Kconfig requested by Randy
- Removed from this cover letter the long Intel internal pre-review change
log of this patchset.
