Configurations for Intel® Gaussian & Neural Accelerator (GNA) with OpenVINO™¶

Note

On platforms where Intel® GNA is not enabled in the BIOS, the driver cannot be installed, so the GNA plugin uses the software emulation mode only.

Drivers and Dependencies¶

Intel® GNA hardware requires a driver to be installed on the system.

Ensure that make, gcc, and Linux kernel headers are installed.

Download Intel® GNA driver for Ubuntu Linux 18.04.3 LTS (with HWE Kernel version 5.4+)
Run the sample_install.sh script provided in the installation package:
```
prompt$ ./scripts/sample_install.sh
```

You can also build and install the driver manually by using the following commands:

prompt$ cd src/
prompt$ make
prompt$ sudo insmod intel_gna.ko

To unload the driver:

prompt$ sudo rmmod intel_gna

Intel® GNA driver for Windows is available through Windows Update.
