OpenVINO Runtime library

OpenVINO Runtime is a common OpenVINO library which provides functionality for Neural Network inference. The library includes next parts:

        style inference fill:#d7a203,stroke:#333,stroke-width:4px
    end

• core is responsible for model representation, contains a set of supported OpenVINO operations and base API for model modification.
• inference provides the API for model inference on different accelerators.
• Transformations:
  • common transformations - a set of common transformations which are used for model optimization
  • low precision transformations - a set of transformations which are needed to optimize quantized models
• frontend_common provides frontend common API which allows to support frontends for different frameworks.

OpenVINO Frontends

OpenVINO Frontends allow to convert model from framework to OpenVINO representation.

Go to the Frontends page to get more information.

OpenVINO Plugins

OpenVINO Plugins provide support for hardware devices.

To get more information about supported OpenVINO Plugins, go to the Plugins page.

OpenVINO Bindings

OpenVINO provides bindings for different languages. To get the full list of supported languages, go to the bindings page.
