1 # Android Neural Network API
2
3 The Android Neural Networks API (NNAPI) is an Android C API designed for running
4 computationally intensive operators for machine learning on mobile devices.
5 Tensorflow Lite is designed to use the NNAPI to perform hardware-accelerated
6 inference operators on supported devices.
7 Based on the apps requirements and the hardware capabilities on a device, the
8 NNAPI can distribute the computation workload across available on-device
9 processors, including dedicated neural network hardware, graphics processing
10 units (GPUs), and digital signal processors (DSPs).
11 For devices that lack a specialized vendor driver, the NNAPI runtime relies on
12 optimized code to execute requests on the CPU. For more information about the
13 NNAPI, please refer to the [NNAPI documentation](https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/neuralnetworks/index.html)
