Intel and AMD collaborate on oneDNN optimizations for PyTorch
Intel and AMD announced a joint effort to improve the oneDNN neural‑network library for use with PyTorch. The two rivals will combine their x86 CPU optimization work, with AMD’s ZenDNN enhancements being merged into the upstream oneDNN code base. The collaboration follows earlier joint activity on the x86 Ecosystem Advisory Group and aims to make oneDNN the default open‑source library for…
Key points
- Intel and AMD announced they will jointly develop oneDNN optimizations for PyTorch.
- AMD’s ZenDNN improvements will be contributed to the upstream oneDNN library.
- AMD joins the UXL Foundation as a steering member to help guide oneDNN development.
In addition to the software work, AMD said it will join the UXL Foundation as a steering member. The foundation, created in 2023, brings together former oneAPI projects under a consortium that includes Intel, Samsung, Qualcomm, Arm and others. AMD’s participation signals a broader industry push to standardise CPU‑based AI acceleration across competing silicon vendors.
