The nGraph library translates a framework’s representation of computations
into an :abbr:`Intermediate Representation (IR)` that promotes computational
efficiency on target hardware. Initially-supported backends include Intel
Architecture CPUs (``CPU``), the Intel® Nervana Neural Network Processor™ (Intel®
``NNP``), and NVIDIA\* GPUs. Currently-supported compiler optimizations include
efficient memory management and data layout abstraction.
