IREE Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL)

The IREE HAL expresses a low-level abstraction over modern compute APIs like Vulkan (CPUs count too!). Each implementation of the HAL interface can:

• Enumerate and query devices and their capabilities
• Define executable code that runs on the device
• Allocate unified or discrete memory and provide cache control
• Organize work into sequences for deferred submission
• Provide explicit synchronization primitives for ordering submissions

Refer to IREE's presentations and talks for further details.
