# Intel® Extension for DeepSpeed*
Intel® Extension for DeepSpeed* is an extension that brings Intel GPU (XPU) support to DeepSpeed(https://github.com/Microsoft/DeepSpeed). It comes with the following components:
1. DeepSpeed Accelerator Interface implementation
2. DeepSpeed op builder implementation for XPU
3. DeepSpeed op builder kernel code

DeepSpeed would automatically use Intel® Extension for DeepSpeed* when it is installed as a python package.   After installation, models ported for DeepSpeed Accelerator Interface that run on DeepSpeed could run on Intel GPU device.

## Installation

1. Install Intel® Extension for PyTorch* following [Installation Guide](https://intel.github.io/intel-extension-for-pytorch/xpu/latest/tutorials/installation.html)

2. Install Intel® Extension for DeepSpeed*
```python
pip install intel-extension-for-deepspeed
```
 Or, you can build from source:
```python
source ${DPCPPROOT}/env/vars.sh
python setup.py install
```
Generally, DPCPPROOT is /opt/intel/oneapi/compiler/latest for root account, ${HOME}/intel/oneapi/compiler/latest for other accounts.

3. Install DeepSpeed

```python
pip install deepspeed
```
