Course Outline

Introduction to Huawei’s AI Ecosystem

  • Ascend AI hardware: the 310, 910, and 910B chips.
  • MindSpore, CANN, and associated tools.
  • The AI development workflow: from training to deployment.

Understanding the CANN Toolkit

  • Defining CANN and its significance.
  • Overview of core components (ATC, AscendCL, and operator libraries).
  • The role of CANN within AI inference pipelines.

Getting Started with MindSpore and CANN

  • Setting up the environment (MindSpore + CANN + Python).

  • Exporting and converting the model via ATC.

Running Inference on Ascend Devices

  • Utilising the OM model with AscendCL or Python APIs.
  • Basic input/output preprocessing.
  • Validating model outputs.

Working with Other Frameworks

  • Overview of support for TensorFlow, PyTorch, and ONNX.
  • Supported operators and known limitations.
  • Demonstration of simple model conversion (e.g., from ONNX to OM).

Exploring the CANN and MindSpore Developer Ecosystem

  • Key resources: documentation, GitHub repositories, and sample code.
  • Overview of the MindSpore Hub and model zoo.
  • Community forums, events, and support channels.

Summary and Next Steps
