This is all enabled by the AWS Neuron Software Development Kit (SDK), which includes an ML compiler, the Neuron Kernel Interface (NKI) compiler, and a runtime that natively integrates into popular ML frameworks such as PyTorch and JAX. Neuron Kernel Interface (NKI) is a bare-metal language and compiler for directly programming NeuronDevices available on AWS Trainium instances. You can use NKI to develop, optimize, and run new operators directly on NeuronCores while making full use of available compute and memory resources.
