Introduction:
Qualcomm Cloud AI 100 is a PCIe adapter card which contains a dedicated
SoC ASIC for the purpose of efficently running Deep Learning inference
workloads in a data center environment.
The offical press release can be found at -

The offical product website is -

At the time of the offical press release, numerious technology news sites
also covered the product. Doing a search of your favorite site is likely
to find their coverage of it.
It is our goal to have the kernel driver for the product fully upstream.
The purpose of this RFC is to start that process. We are still doing
development (see below), and thus not quite looking to gain acceptance quite
yet, but now that we have a working driver we beleive we are at the stage
where meaningful conversation with the community can occur.
Design:
Can you add documentation in next revision with all this information (or more)?
In restructured text ofc. Eventhough it is an RFC series, adding documentation
doesn't hurt and it will help reviewers to understand the hardware better.
Sorry, saw this hit my inbox as I was sending out the next rev. There
will be another rev.
Sure. I'm open to doing that. Hmm, Documentation/misc-devices seem good?
Do you have specific additional information you think would be good?
