CCE AI Suite (Ascend NPU)

Introduction

Ascend NPU is a device management add-on that supports Huawei NPUs in containers.

After this add-on is installed, you can create Ascend-accelerated nodes to quickly and efficiently process inference and image recognition.

Notes and Constraints

To use Ascend-accelerated nodes in a cluster, the Ascend NPU add-on must be installed.
After an AI-accelerated node is migrated, the node will be reset. Manually reinstall the NPU driver.

Installing the Add-on

Log in to the CCE console and click the cluster name to access the cluster console. Choose Add-ons in the navigation pane, locate CCE AI Suite (Ascend NPU) on the right, and click Install.

Set NPU parameters. The add-on uses the following parameters by default. The default NPU settings provided by the add-on can satisfy most scenarios and require no changes.
