intel-extension-for-tensorflow VS intel-extension-for-pytorch

Intel already has a working GPGPU stack, using oneAPI/SYCL.

They also have arguably pretty good OpenCL support, as well as downstream support for PyTorch and Tensorflow using their custom extensions https://github.com/intel/intel-extension-for-tensorflow and https://github.com/intel/intel-extension-for-pytorch which are actively developed and just recently brought up-to-date with upstream releases.

I tried Intel® Extension for PyTorch* v1.13.10+xpu and intel-extension-for-tensorflow

Yeah I recently stubbled on it when I was looking into buying a 16gb a770 and wondering what was possible now. GitHub Intel extension for tensorflow

Intel publish extensions for PyTorch and Tensorflow. I’ve been working with PyTorch so I just needed to follow these instructions to get everything set up.

Actually I was just on GitHub trying to submit issues related to me testing Intel's PyTorch and Tensorflow extensions when I saw this; it seems that someone has already ported SD over to the tensorflow framework and so you can probably start using intel's extension for tensorflow with it immediately; and according to this article you can use Intel's extension within WSL under windows as well. But unfortunately given how the guy whose issue I linked to has been facing pretty serious performance issues of inferencing taking many minutes longer than it should when using an A770 to do SD-related inferencing, you might be better off waiting for intel's extension for tensorflow versions 1.2 and greater or something like that, so that when it's your turn to use it, Intel has already ironed out most of the major bugs within the software :)

I have been playing around in pytorch with an a770 16GB card and hit this error. The response seems to be https://github.com/intel/intel-extension-for-pytorch/issues/... that larger than 4gb allocations aren't supported even though the card is 16gb. I haven't seen a ton of stuff on intel arc for machine learning so wanted to share my experience

OK I found it. Looks like they use SYCL (which for some reason they've rebranded to DPC++): https://github.com/intel/intel-extension-for-pytorch/tree/v2...

Just to point out it does, kind of: https://github.com/intel/intel-extension-for-pytorch

I've asked before if they'll merge it back into PyTorch main and include it in the CI, not sure if they've done that yet.

> Intel® Extension for PyTorch extends PyTorch* with up-to-date features optimizations for an extra performance boost on Intel hardware. Optimizations take advantage of AVX-512 Vector Neural Network Instructions (AVX512 VNNI) and Intel® Advanced Matrix Extensions (Intel® AMX) on Intel CPUs as well as Intel Xe Matrix Extensions (XMX) AI engines on Intel discrete GPUs. Moreover, through PyTorch* xpu device, Intel® Extension for PyTorch* provides easy GPU acceleration for Intel discrete GPUs with PyTorch*

https://pytorch.org/blog/celebrate-pytorch-2.0/ :

> As part of the PyTorch 2.0 compilation stack, TorchInductor CPU backend optimization brings notable performance improvements via graph compilation over the PyTorch eager mode.

The TorchInductor CPU backend is sped up by leveraging the technologies from the Intel® Extension for PyTorch for Conv/GEMM ops with post-op fusion and weight prepacking, and PyTorch ATen CPU kernels for memory-bound ops with explicit vectorization on top of OpenMP-based thread parallelization*

Install intel extensions for pytorch using docker. https://github.com/intel/intel-extension-for-pytorch

There is: https://github.com/intel/intel-extension-for-pytorch for intel cards on GPUs, but I would assume this doesn't extend to integraded graphics

Nonetheless, this issue might be relevant for your case.
