| # 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](../../README.md#presentations-and-talks) for further |
| details. |
| |
| ## Testing |
| |
| See the [cts/ folder](./cts/) for the HAL Conformance Test Suite. |
