Programming AI Workloads with Habana Gaudi SDK

"Programming AI Workloads with Habana Gaudi SDK" Unlock the full potential of modern AI acceleration with "Programming AI Workloads with Habana Gaudi SDK," a comprehensive guide for architects, engineers, and researchers eager to harness the power and efficiency of Habana Gaudi processors. This authoritative volume delivers an in-depth exploration of the Gaudi architecture, from its innovative compute and memory subsystems to its robust networking capabilities and software ecosystem. Readers are introduced to practical system integration strategies, a comparative analysis of Gaudi versus other accelerators, and a detailed overview of the Habana SynapseAI software stack, ensuring a strong foundation for effective deployment and optimization. The book seamlessly transitions from essential setup procedures—covering hardware requirements, SDK installation, resource management, and validation—into hands-on programming techniques. Detailed reference sections illuminate both the high-level SynapseAI programming model and low-level device APIs, equipping developers with the skills needed for custom operator development, memory-efficient tensor handling, and robust, concurrent execution. Extensive chapters on framework integration demonstrate how to accelerate and fine-tune PyTorch, TensorFlow, and ONNX models on Gaudi, complemented by real-world strategies for graph optimization, model partitioning, and adapting complex architectures. For professionals focused on AI at scale, the guide presents actionable best practices for model training, inference, and distributed workload management, including advanced topics such as mixed-precision training, profiling, elastic resource allocation, and security in accelerated environments. Case studies spanning vision, NLP, edge-to-cloud deployment, and benchmarking against leading GPUs ground the theory in industry-relevant scenarios. Whether targeting energy-efficient training or orchestrating resilient, multi-tenant production workflows, this book is an indispensable resource for mastering AI workloads with Habana Gaudi technology.

Embedded Computing

The fact that there are more embedded computers than general-purpose computers and that we are impacted by hundreds of them every day is no longer news. What is news is that their increasing performance requirements, complexity and capabilities demand a new approach to their design. Fisher, Faraboschi, and Young describe a new age of embedded computing design, in which the processor is central, making the approach radically distinct from contemporary practices of embedded systems design. They demonstrate why it is essential to take a computing-centric and system-design approach to the traditional elements of nonprogrammable components, peripherals, interconnects and buses. These elements must be unified in a system design with high-performance processor architectures, microarchitectures and compilers, and with the compilation tools, debuggers and simulators needed for application development. In this landmark text, the authors apply their expertise in highly interdisciplinary hardware/software development and VLIW processors to illustrate this change in embedded computing. VLIW architectures have long been a popular choice in embedded systems design, and while VLIW is a running theme throughout the book, embedded computing is the core topic. Embedded Computing examines both in a book filled with fact and opinion based on the authors many years of R&D experience.· Complemented by a unique, professional-quality embedded tool-chain on the authors' website, http://www.vliw.org/book· Combines technical depth with real-world experience · Comprehensively explains the differences between general purpose computing systems and embedded systems at the hardware, software, tools and operating system levels. · Uses concrete examples to explain and motivate the trade-offs.
