昇腾 910B NPU 平台 ops-transformer 算子：全场景性能测试与验证及与原生 PyTorch 注意力的深度性能对比

前提条件

开发环境准备：NPU 启动配置

计算类型需选择 NPU 以利用昇腾芯片专用算力。硬件配置建议为 NPU basic · 1 * NPU 910B，CPU 64GB。容器镜像建议使用 ubuntu22.04-py3.11-cann8.2.rc1。

环境依赖安装

Python、GCC、CMake 已预装完成，无需重复安装。版本要求如下：

• Python >= 3.7.0
• GCC >= 7.3.0

ops-transformer 项目源码编译用到的依赖包括 pigz（可选）、dos2unix、Gawk、googletest（仅执行 UT 时依赖）。上述依赖包可通过项目根目录 install_deps.sh 安装。

方式一：一键自动化安装

使用项目脚本安装依赖。

方式二：手动独立配置

1. Gawk 安装
2. dos2unix 安装
3. zlib 安装（pigz 依赖）
4. pigz 安装
5. googletest 安装
6. 环境变量配置
