AMD Talks Up IREE/MLIR Programming For Ryzen AI NPUs
While the AMDXDNA driver was merged for the Linux 6.14 kernel for enabling the Ryzen AI NPUs atop a mainline kernel build, there's still the user-space software needed for making use of the neural processing units found in Ryzen AI SoCs
AMD talked more about programming Ryzen AI NPUs last weekend in Belgium at the FOSDEM 2025 developer conference. IREE in turn derived from the Multi-Level Intermediate Representation (MLIR) IR that is part of the LLVM compiler stack. AMD engineer Jorn Tuyls was at FOSDEM 2025 this past weekend in Brussels to talk about MLIR-based data tiling and packing for Ryzen AI NPU programming.
