hipDNN is organized into several key components. For detailed architecture descriptions, see the Design Overview.
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Backend | Core shared library providing C API for operation graphs and managing plugins |
| Frontend | Header-only C++ API wrapper around the backend |
| SDK | Header-only library for plugin development and utilities |
| Plugins | Plugin implementations, including MIOpen Legacy Plugin |
| Samples | Example implementations demonstrating hipDNN usage |
| Tests | Tests for the public API (incl. frontend integration tests) |
