How To Install onednn on CentOS 8

onednn is Deep Neural Network Library

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install onednn on CentOS 8.

What is onednn

one-API Deep Neural Network Library (oneDNN) is an open-source performance library for deep learning applications. The library includes basic building blocks for neural networks optimized for Intel Architecture Processors and Intel Processor Graphics. oneDNN is intended for deep learning applications and framework developers interested in improving application performance on Intel CPUs and GPUs. Deep learning practitioners should use one of the applications enabled with oneDNN

We can use yum or dnf to install onednn on CentOS 8. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install onednn.

Install onednn on CentOS 8 Using dnf
