Chapter 4: Software architecture
Abstract
This chapter explains the software architecture of the Huawei Ascend AI processor. Firstly, the Ascend AI software stack is introduced, including the process orchestration (Matrix), the framework manager (Framework), the execution manager (Runtime), the Digital Vision Preprocessing (DVPP) module, the Tensor Boost Engine (TBE), and the Task Scheduler (TS). The neural network software flow is used to complete the generation, loading, and execution of the neural network model. Then, the development tool chain, Mind Studio, is introduced. It provides the auxiliary convenience for the realization process of the neural network.
