+# OpenVINO Backend for ExecuTorch
+The OpenVINO backend enables optimized execution of deep learning models on Intel hardware, leveraging Intel's [OpenVINO toolkit](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/tools/openvino-toolkit/overview.html) for inference acceleration.
+
+## Supported Hardware
+
+OpenVINO backend supports the following hardware:
+
+- Intel CPUs
+- Intel integrated GPUs
+- Intel discrete GPUs
+- Intel NPUs
+
+For more information on the supported hardware, please refer to [OpenVINO System Requirements](https://docs.openvino.ai/2025/about-openvino/release-notes-openvino/system-requirements.html) page.

+
+## Build Instructions
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+Before you begin, ensure you have openvino installed and configured on your system:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/openvinotoolkit/openvino.git
+cd openvino && git checkout releases/2025/1
+git submodule update --init --recursive
+sudo ./install_build_dependencies.sh
+mkdir build && cd build
+cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DENABLE_PYTHON=ON
+make -j$(nproc)
+
+cd ..
+cmake --install build --prefix <your_preferred_install_location>
+cd <your_preferred_install_location>
+source setupvars.sh
+```
+Note: The OpenVINO backend is not yet supported with the current OpenVINO release packages. It is recommended to build from source. The instructions for using OpenVINO release packages will be added soon.
+For more information about OpenVINO build, refer to the [OpenVINO Build Instructions](https://github.com/openvinotoolkit/openvino/blob/master/docs/dev/build_linux.md).
+
+### Setup
+
+Follow the steps below to setup your build environment:
+
+1. **Setup ExecuTorch Environment**: Refer to the [Environment Setup](https://pytorch.org/executorch/stable/getting-started-setup#environment-setup) guide for detailed instructions on setting up the ExecuTorch environment.
+
+2. **Setup OpenVINO Backend Environment**
+- Install the dependent libs. Ensure that you are inside `executorch/backends/openvino/` directory
+ ```bash
+ pip install -r requirements.txt
+ ```
+ Note: To achieve optimal performance with NNCF quantization, you should install the latest development version of NNCF (version 2.16.0.dev0+191b53d9 or higher).
+3. Navigate to `scripts/` directory.
+
+4. **Build OpenVINO Backend C++ Libraries and Executor Runner**: Once the prerequisites are in place, run the `openvino_build.sh` script to start the build process. By default, OpenVINO backend will be built under `cmake-out/backends/openvino/` as `libopenvino_backend.a`
+
+ ```bash
+ ./openvino_build.sh
+ ```
+ **Build OpenVINO Backend Python Package with Pybindings**: To build and install the OpenVINO backend Python package with Python bindings, run the `openvino_build.sh` script with the `--enable_python` argument. This will compile and install the ExecuTorch Python package with the OpenVINO backend into your Python environment. This option will also enable python bindings required to execute OpenVINO backend tests and `export_and_infer_openvino.py` script inside `executorch/examples/openvino` folder.
+
+ ```bash
+ ./openvino_build.sh --enable_python
+ ```
+
+### Run
+
+Please refer to [README.md](../../examples/openvino/README.md) for instructions on running examples of various of models with openvino backend.

+# OpenVINO Backend for ExecuTorch
+The OpenVINO backend enables optimized execution of deep learning models on Intel hardware, leveraging Intel's [OpenVINO toolkit](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/tools/openvino-toolkit/overview.html) for inference acceleration.
+
+## Supported Hardware
+
+OpenVINO backend supports the following hardware:
+
+- Intel CPUs
+- Intel integrated GPUs
+- Intel discrete GPUs
+- Intel NPUs
+
+For more information on the supported hardware, please refer to [OpenVINO System Requirements](https://docs.openvino.ai/2025/about-openvino/release-notes-openvino/system-requirements.html) page.

+
+## Build Instructions
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+Before you begin, ensure you have openvino installed and configured on your system:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/openvinotoolkit/openvino.git
+cd openvino && git checkout releases/2025/1
+git submodule update --init --recursive
+sudo ./install_build_dependencies.sh
+mkdir build && cd build
+cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DENABLE_PYTHON=ON
+make -j$(nproc)
+
+cd ..
+cmake --install build --prefix <your_preferred_install_location>
+cd <your_preferred_install_location>
+source setupvars.sh
+```
+Note: The OpenVINO backend is not yet supported with the current OpenVINO release packages. It is recommended to build from source. The instructions for using OpenVINO release packages will be added soon.
+For more information about OpenVINO build, refer to the [OpenVINO Build Instructions](https://github.com/openvinotoolkit/openvino/blob/master/docs/dev/build_linux.md).
+
+### Setup
+
+Follow the steps below to setup your build environment:
+
+1. **Setup ExecuTorch Environment**: Refer to the [Environment Setup](https://pytorch.org/executorch/stable/getting-started-setup#environment-setup) guide for detailed instructions on setting up the ExecuTorch environment.
+
+2. **Setup OpenVINO Backend Environment**
+- Install the dependent libs. Ensure that you are inside `executorch/backends/openvino/` directory
+ ```bash
+ pip install -r requirements.txt
+ ```
+ Note: To achieve optimal performance with NNCF quantization, you should install the latest development version of NNCF (version 2.16.0.dev0+191b53d9 or higher).
+3. Navigate to `scripts/` directory.
+
+4. **Build OpenVINO Backend C++ Libraries and Executor Runner**: Once the prerequisites are in place, run the `openvino_build.sh` script to start the build process. By default, OpenVINO backend will be built under `cmake-out/backends/openvino/` as `libopenvino_backend.a`
+
+ ```bash
+ ./openvino_build.sh
+ ```
+ **Build OpenVINO Backend Python Package with Pybindings**: To build and install the OpenVINO backend Python package with Python bindings, run the `openvino_build.sh` script with the `--enable_python` argument. This will compile and install the ExecuTorch Python package with the OpenVINO backend into your Python environment. This option will also enable python bindings required to execute OpenVINO backend tests and `export_and_infer_openvino.py` script inside `executorch/examples/openvino` folder.
+
+ ```bash
+ ./openvino_build.sh --enable_python
+ ```
+
+### Run
+
+Please refer to [README.md](../../examples/openvino/README.md) for instructions on running examples of various of models with openvino backend.

+
+## Build Instructions
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+Before you begin, ensure you have openvino installed and configured on your system:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/openvinotoolkit/openvino.git
+cd openvino && git checkout releases/2025/1
+git submodule update --init --recursive
+sudo ./install_build_dependencies.sh
+mkdir build && cd build
+cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DENABLE_PYTHON=ON
+make -j$(nproc)
+
+cd ..
+cmake --install build --prefix <your_preferred_install_location>
+cd <your_preferred_install_location>
+source setupvars.sh
+```
+Note: The OpenVINO backend is not yet supported with the current OpenVINO release packages. It is recommended to build from source. The instructions for using OpenVINO release packages will be added soon.
+For more information about OpenVINO build, refer to the [OpenVINO Build Instructions](https://github.com/openvinotoolkit/openvino/blob/master/docs/dev/build_linux.md).
+
+### Setup
+
+Follow the steps below to setup your build environment:
+
+1. **Setup ExecuTorch Environment**: Refer to the [Environment Setup](https://pytorch.org/executorch/stable/getting-started-setup#environment-setup) guide for detailed instructions on setting up the ExecuTorch environment.
+
+2. **Setup OpenVINO Backend Environment**
+- Install the dependent libs. Ensure that you are inside `executorch/backends/openvino/` directory
+ ```bash
+ pip install -r requirements.txt
+ ```
+ Note: To achieve optimal performance with NNCF quantization, you should install the latest development version of NNCF (version 2.16.0.dev0+191b53d9 or higher).
+3. Navigate to `scripts/` directory.
+
+4. **Build OpenVINO Backend C++ Libraries and Executor Runner**: Once the prerequisites are in place, run the `openvino_build.sh` script to start the build process. By default, OpenVINO backend will be built under `cmake-out/backends/openvino/` as `libopenvino_backend.a`
+
+ ```bash
+ ./openvino_build.sh
+ ```
+ **Build OpenVINO Backend Python Package with Pybindings**: To build and install the OpenVINO backend Python package with Python bindings, run the `openvino_build.sh` script with the `--enable_python` argument. This will compile and install the ExecuTorch Python package with the OpenVINO backend into your Python environment. This option will also enable python bindings required to execute OpenVINO backend tests and `export_and_infer_openvino.py` script inside `executorch/examples/openvino` folder.
+
+ ```bash
+ ./openvino_build.sh --enable_python
+ ```
+
+### Run
+
+Please refer to [README.md](../../examples/openvino/README.md) for instructions on running examples of various of models with openvino backend.

+## Build Instructions
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+Before you begin, ensure you have openvino installed and configured on your system:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/openvinotoolkit/openvino.git
+cd openvino && git checkout releases/2025/1
+git submodule update --init --recursive
+sudo ./install_build_dependencies.sh
+mkdir build && cd build
+cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DENABLE_PYTHON=ON
+make -j$(nproc)
+
+cd ..
+cmake --install build --prefix <your_preferred_install_location>
+cd <your_preferred_install_location>
+source setupvars.sh
+```
+Note: The OpenVINO backend is not yet supported with the current OpenVINO release packages. It is recommended to build from source. The instructions for using OpenVINO release packages will be added soon.
+For more information about OpenVINO build, refer to the [OpenVINO Build Instructions](https://github.com/openvinotoolkit/openvino/blob/master/docs/dev/build_linux.md).
+
+### Setup
+
+Follow the steps below to setup your build environment:
+
+1. **Setup ExecuTorch Environment**: Refer to the [Environment Setup](https://pytorch.org/executorch/stable/getting-started-setup#environment-setup) guide for detailed instructions on setting up the ExecuTorch environment.
+
+2. **Setup OpenVINO Backend Environment**
+- Install the dependent libs. Ensure that you are inside `executorch/backends/openvino/` directory
+ ```bash
+ pip install -r requirements.txt
+ ```
+ Note: To achieve optimal performance with NNCF quantization, you should install the latest development version of NNCF (version 2.16.0.dev0+191b53d9 or higher).
+3. Navigate to `scripts/` directory.
+
+4. **Build OpenVINO Backend C++ Libraries and Executor Runner**: Once the prerequisites are in place, run the `openvino_build.sh` script to start the build process. By default, OpenVINO backend will be built under `cmake-out/backends/openvino/` as `libopenvino_backend.a`
+
+ ```bash
+ ./openvino_build.sh
+ ```
+ **Build OpenVINO Backend Python Package with Pybindings**: To build and install the OpenVINO backend Python package with Python bindings, run the `openvino_build.sh` script with the `--enable_python` argument. This will compile and install the ExecuTorch Python package with the OpenVINO backend into your Python environment. This option will also enable python bindings required to execute OpenVINO backend tests and `export_and_infer_openvino.py` script inside `executorch/examples/openvino` folder.
+
+ ```bash
+ ./openvino_build.sh --enable_python
+ ```
+
+### Run
+
+Please refer to [README.md](../../examples/openvino/README.md) for instructions on running examples of various of models with openvino backend.
