Introduction to Tenstorrent

Tenstorrent is a Canadian AI hardware and software company that designs and manufactures high-performance processors for machine learning and artificial intelligence applications. Founded in 2016 by Ljubomir Perkovic, Tenstorrent aims to provide cutting-edge solutions for AI workloads, focusing on efficiency, scalability, and performance. Tenstorrent has multiple levels of software stack, including:

• TT-Metalium^™: The low-level, open-source software development kit (SDK) that provides developers direct access to Tenstorrent hardware. It is a bare-metal programming environment designed for users who must write custom C++ kernels for machine learning or other high-performance computing workloads.

• TT-Forge^™: Tenstorrent’s Multi-Level Intermediate Representation (MLIR)-based compiler. It bridges high-level machine learning frameworks with the Tenstorrent software stack.
• TT-NN^™: A library of neural network operations that provides a user-friendly interface for running models on Tenstorrent hardware. It is designed to be intuitive for developers familiar with PyTorch.
• TT-Buda^™: Deprecated.
