* ci: replace OpenVINO installer action To test wasi-nn, we currently use an OpenVINO backend. The Wasmtime CI must install OpenVINO using a custom GitHub action. This CI action has not been updated in some time and in the meantime OpenVINO (and the OpenVINO crates) have released several new versions. https://github.com/abrown/install-openvino-action is an external action that we plan to keep up to date with the latest releases. This change replaces the current CI action with that one. * wasi-nn: upgrade openvino dependency to v0.4.1 This eliminates a `lazy_static` dependency and changes a few parameters to pass by reference. Importantly, it enables support for the latest versions of OpenVINO (v2022.*) in wasi-nn. * ci: update wasi-nn script to source correct env script * ci: really use the correct path for the env script Also, clarify which directory OpenVINO is installed in (the symlink may not be present).
wasmtime-wasi-nn
This crate enables support for the wasi-nn API in Wasmtime. Currently it contains an implementation of wasi-nn using OpenVINO™ but in the future it could support multiple machine learning backends. Since the wasi-nn API is expected to be an optional feature of WASI, this crate is currently separate from the wasi-common crate. This crate is experimental and its API, functionality, and location could quickly change.
Use
Use the Wasmtime APIs to instantiate a Wasm module and link in the WasiNn implementation as follows:
let wasi_nn = WasiNn::new(&store, WasiNnCtx::new()?);
wasi_nn.add_to_linker(&mut linker)?;
Build
This crate should build as usual (i.e. cargo build) but note that using an existing installation of OpenVINO™, rather
than building from source, will drastically improve the build times. See the openvino crate for more information
Example
An end-to-end example demonstrating ML classification is included in examples:
tests/wasi-nn-rust-bindingscontains ergonomic bindings for writing Rust code against the wasi-nn APIstests/classification-examplecontains a standalone Rust project that uses the wasi-nn APIs and is compiled to thewasm32-wasitarget using thewasi-nn-rust-bindings
Run the example from the Wasmtime project directory:
