Installation and User Guide of C SDK

Using the Furiosa C SDK library, you can easily write C and C++ application programs that leverage the NPU. C SDK provides C ABI based static library and C header files for not only C and C++ applications but also other program applications which support C ABI.

C SDK provides low-level API compared to Python SDK, which enables lower latency and higher performance than using Python runtime. C SDK also provides blocking and asynchronous API as Python SDK provides.
