## ZenDNN
ZenDNN provides optimized deep learning primitives for AMD EPYC™ CPUs. It accelerates matrix multiplication operations for inference workloads.
### Compilation
- Using `CMake` on Linux (automatic build):
```bash
cmake -B build -DGGML_ZENDNN=ON
cmake --build build --config Release
```
The first build will automatically download and build ZenDNN, which may take 5-10 minutes. Subsequent builds will be much faster.
- Using `CMake` with custom ZenDNN installation:
```bash
cmake -B build -DGGML_ZENDNN=ON -DZENDNN_ROOT=/path/to/zendnn/install
cmake --build build --config Release
```
### Testing
You can test with:
```bash
./build/bin/llama-cli -m PATH_TO_MODEL -p "Building a website can be done in 10 steps:" -n 50
```
For detailed information about hardware support, setup instructions, and performance optimization, refer to [llama.cpp for ZenDNN](./backend/ZenDNN.md).
