| # 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. |
