Introduction

CANN provides C and Python API libraries, identified by the acl prefix. These APIs enable developers to leverage hardware computing resources of Ascend AI Processor for deep learning inference, image preprocessing, and single-operator acceleration. These libraries, referred to as acl (for C API library) and pyacl (for Python API library) respectively, include a wide range of APIs for runtime management, single-operator invocation, model management, and media data processing.
