 Intel® Neural Compressor, formerly known as Intel® Low Precision Optimization Tool, is an open-source Python library that runs on Intel CPUs and GPUs, which delivers unified interfaces across multiple deep-learning frameworks for popular network compression technologies such as quantization, pruning, and knowledge distillation. This tool supports automatic accuracy-driven tuning strategies to help the user quickly find out the best quantized model. It also implements different weight-pruning algorithms to generate a pruned model with predefined sparsity goal. It also supports knowledge distillation to distill the knowledge from the teacher model to the student model. 
 Intel® Neural Compressor is a critical AI software component in the [Intel® oneAPI AI Analytics Toolkit](https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/tools/oneapi/ai-analytics-toolkit.html).

-> GPU support is under development.

+#### Tuning the model on Intel GPU(Mandatory)
+Intel Extension for Tensorflow is mandatory to be installed for tuning the model on Intel GPUs.
+
+```shell
+pip install --upgrade intel-extension-for-tensorflow[gpu]
+```
+For any more details, please follow the procedure in [install-gpu-drivers](https://github.com/intel-innersource/frameworks.ai.infrastructure.intel-extension-for-tensorflow.intel-extension-for-tensorflow/blob/master/docs/install/install_for_gpu.md#install-gpu-drivers)

+#### Tuning the model on Intel CPU(Experimental)
+Intel Extension for Tensorflow for Intel CPUs is experimental currently. It's not mandatory for tuning the model on Intel CPUs.

+## Write Yaml config file
+In examples directory, there are mobilenet_v1.yaml, mobilenet_v2.yaml and efficientnet_v2_b0.yaml for tuning the model on Intel CPUs. The 'framework' in the yaml is set to 'tensorflow'. If running this example on Intel GPUs, the 'framework' should be set to 'tensorflow_itex' and the device in yaml file should be set to 'gpu'. The mobilenet_v1_itex.yaml, mobilenet_v2_itex.yaml and efficientnet_v2_b0_itex.yaml are prepared for the GPU case. We could remove most of items and only keep mandatory item for tuning. We also implement a calibration dataloader and have evaluation field for creation of evaluation function at internal neural_compressor.
