| # Chrome OS NNAPI Implementation |
| |
| ## Summary |
| |
| The [Android Neural Networks API](https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/neuralnetworks) |
| is an Android C API designed for running computationally intensive operations |
| for machine learning on Android Devices. NNAPI is designed to provide a base |
| layer of functionality for higher level machine learning frameworks, such as |
| [TensorFlow Lite](https://www.tensorflow.org/lite). |
| |
| NNAPI is being ported to Chrome OS to provide a common abstraction for the |
| implementation of on device accelerators, using [Neural Networks HAL](https://source.android.com/devices/neural-networks). |
| |
| Vendors will provide NNHAL implementations for their hardware for |
| acceleration on Chrome OS via ML Service. |
