Under the hood of high-performance AI lies CANN (Compute Architecture for Neural Networks) — the software foundation powering Huawei’s Ascend chips and the minds behind them.
These instructor-led courses peel back the layers of the Compute Architecture for Neural Networks, exploring how CANN bridges algorithms and silicon through graph optimization, kernel fusion, and hardware-aware scheduling.
Whether you’re building inference engines, tuning custom operators, or porting deep learning models to run at the edge, you’ll gain practical insight into maximizing performance on Ascend processors.
Train live online via an interactive remote desktop, or join onsite sessions in Iowa — either at your organization’s premises or a NobleProg training center — featuring labs that simulate production-grade acceleration and deployment pipelines.
Also known as Ascend CANN or Huawei CANN, this training equips developers, engineers, and AI infrastructure teams to get the most from hardware-aware intelligence.
