Implementation Phases

Phase 1: Data Format Standardization

Goal: Define unified tensor formats, memory layouts, and data types across all AI accelerators.

Key Features:

  • Tensor descriptor format (shape, stride, dtype)
  • Memory layout standards (NCHW, NHWC, etc.)
  • Quantization format specifications (INT8, FP16, BF16)
  • Zero-copy buffer sharing protocols

Phase 2: API Abstraction Layer

Goal: Create hardware-agnostic APIs for accelerator operations.

Key Features:

  • Device discovery and enumeration
  • Context and stream management
  • Kernel launch abstractions
  • Unified memory allocation interface

Phase 3: Protocol & Communication

Goal: Establish protocols for inter-chip communication and synchronization.

Key Features:

  • Multi-chip synchronization primitives
  • DMA transfer protocols
  • Event-based coordination
  • Distributed execution framework

Phase 4: Integration & Optimization

Goal: Optimize performance and integrate with existing AI frameworks.

Key Features:

  • Auto-tuning and kernel optimization
  • Framework integration (PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX)
  • Performance profiling tools
  • Compiler optimization passes
