Luminal
Luminal is a machine-learning framework built for speed, simplicity, and composability, focusing on static graphs and compiler-based optimization to deliver high performance even for complex neural networks. It compiles models into minimal “primops” (only 12 primitive operations) and then applies compiler passes to replace those with device-specific optimized kernels, enabling efficient execution on GPU or other backends. It supports modules (building blocks of networks with a standard forward API) and the GraphTensor interface (typed tensors and graphs at compile time) for model definition and execution. Luminal’s core remains intentionally small and hackable, with extensibility via external compilers for datatypes, devices, training, quantization, and more. Quick-start guidance shows how to clone the repo, build a “Hello World” example, or run a larger model like LLaMA 3 using GPU features.

Zebra by Mipsology
Zebra by Mipsology is the ideal Deep Learning compute engine for neural network inference. Zebra seamlessly replaces or complements CPUs/GPUs, allowing any neural network to compute faster, with lower power consumption, at a lower cost. Zebra deploys swiftly, seamlessly, and painlessly without knowledge of underlying hardware technology, use of specific compilation tools, or changes to the neural network, the training, the framework, and the application. Zebra computes neural networks at world-class speed, setting a new standard for performance. Zebra runs on highest-throughput boards all the way to the smallest boards. The scaling provides the required throughput, in data centers, at the edge, or in the cloud. Zebra accelerates any neural network, including user-defined neural networks. Zebra processes the same CPU/GPU-based trained neural network with the same accuracy without any change.

DeePhi Quantization Tool
This is a model quantization tool for convolution neural networks(CNN). This tool could quantize both weights/biases and activations from 32-bit floating-point (FP32) format to 8-bit integer(INT8) format or any other bit depths. With this tool, you can boost the inference performance and efficiency significantly, while maintaining the accuracy. This tool supports common layer types in neural networks, including convolution, pooling, fully-connected, batch normalization and so on. The quantization tool does not need the retraining of the network or labeled datasets, only one batch of pictures are needed. The process time ranges from a few seconds to several minutes depending on the size of neural network, which makes rapid model update possible. This tool is collaborative optimized for DeePhi DPU and could generate INT8 format model files required by DNNC.

Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit
The Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit (CNTK) is an open-source toolkit for commercial-grade distributed deep learning. It describes neural networks as a series of computational steps via a directed graph. CNTK allows the user to easily realize and combine popular model types such as feed-forward DNNs, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs/LSTMs). CNTK implements stochastic gradient descent (SGD, error backpropagation) learning with automatic differentiation and parallelization across multiple GPUs and servers. CNTK can be included as a library in your Python, C#, or C++ programs, or used as a standalone machine-learning tool through its own model description language (BrainScript). In addition you can use the CNTK model evaluation functionality from your Java programs. CNTK supports 64-bit Linux or 64-bit Windows operating systems. To install you can either choose pre-compiled binary packages, or compile the toolkit from the source provided in GitHub.
