dpnp-quickstart SKILL.md skillA
dpnp-quickstart from intel/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add intel/skills/dpnp-quickstart@v1.0Pins v1.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

NumPy-compatible array operations optimized for Intel hardware. Use when the user wants to migrate or port NumPy code to dpnp, asks whether a NumPy hot path can run on an Intel CPU or GPU, needs to check dpnp installation or SYCL device selection with dpctl, hits a NumPy API dpnp does not implement, or wants to compare dpnp against NumPy. Covers install, device control, fallback patterns, and profiling.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# dpnp quickstart ## Purpose Runs NumPy-style array operations on Intel CPUs and GPUs through `dpnp`, which mirrors the NumPy API over SYCL device memory. Covers installation, SYCL device selection with `dpctl`, migrating existing NumPy code, falling back to NumPy for unimplemented APIs, and measuring whether the move actually paid off. Prefer this over plain NumPy when the arrays are large and the work is math-heavy on Intel hardware. Prefer plain NumPy when the arrays are small — `dpnp` has dispatch overhead that a small array cannot amortize. ## When to Use This Skill Use this skill when: - The user is migrating or porting NumPy code to Intel CPU or GPU execution. - The user asks whether a NumPy hot path can run on an Intel GPU. - The user needs to check a `dpnp` install, or which SYCL device will be used. - The user hit a NumPy API that `dpnp` does not implement. - The user wants to compare `dpnp` against NumPy. Use `dpnp` for: - Large arrays (>10,000 elements) - Math-heavy operations (linear algebra, FFT, reductions) - Intel CPU/GPU acceleration Do **not** use this skill — stick with NumPy — for: - Small arrays (<1,000 elements) - I/O operations …

How to install
mdr add intel/skills/dpnp-quickstart@sha256:d9adb7d4f4e54053The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
