Installation

pip install gpu-necromancer

For backend support:

# With llama-cpp (recommended)
pip install gpu-necromancer[llama-cpp]

# With ONNX Runtime
pip install gpu-necromancer[onnx]

# Everything
pip install gpu-necromancer[all]

5-Minute Example

from necromancer import UniversalNecromancerAgent, ModelRequest

# 1. Create agent - auto-detects your GPU
agent = UniversalNecromancerAgent()
agent.display_strategy()  # See what it detected

# 2. Load a model
model = agent.inference_engine.load_model(
    "./models/mistral-7b.gguf",
    quantization_bits=4
)

# 3. Run inference
request = ModelRequest(
    model_name="mistral-7b",
    max_tokens=256,
    temperature=0.7
)

config = agent.prepare_model(request)
result = agent.execute_model(config)

print(result['output'])

That's it! Works on any GPU with zero configuration. 🎉

🎯 Use Cases

1. Research & Development

Run the same inference code across different GPUs without modification. Perfect for testing models on various hardware setups.

for gpu_id in [0, 1, 2]:
    agent = UniversalNecromancerAgent(device_id=gpu_id)
    # Same code runs on each GPU
    result = agent.execute_model(config)

2. Production Deployment

Deploy to heterogeneous hardware fleet automatically. GPU Necromancer optimizes for whatever hardware is available.

# Works the same on expensive GPU or cheap integrated GPU
agent = UniversalNecromancerAgent()  # Auto-selects best

3. Edge Computing

Run models efficiently on edge devices with integrated GPUs and limited memory.

# Automatically uses 4-bit quantization on integrated GPU
agent = UniversalNecromancerAgent(vendor_preference="intel_integrated")

4. Cost Optimization

Automatically use the cheapest available hardware while maintaining performance.

# Selects optimal GPU considering cost/performance
devices = agent.detector.detect_all_devices()
best = min(devices, key=lambda d: cost[d.name] / d.estimated_tflops_fp32)

5. Rapid Prototyping

No configuration needed. Just write and run.

agent = UniversalNecromancerAgent()
model = agent.inference_engine.load_model("model.gguf")
result = agent.execute_model(config)

💡 How It Works

The Problem

Running LLMs on different GPUs requires:

❌ Different code for NVIDIA vs Intel vs AMD
❌ Manual configuration per hardware
❌ Separate optimization strategies
❌ Complex backend selection
❌ No integrated GPU support

The Solution

GPU Necromancer provides unified abstraction:

Your Code
    ↓
UniversalNecromancerAgent
    ├─ GPU Detection (auto-finds hardware)
    ├─ Strategy Generation (vendor-specific optimization)
    └─ Inference Engine (multi-backend execution)
    ↓
LLM Output (same API, any hardware)

Example: RTX 4090 vs Intel UHD 770

Same code:

agent = UniversalNecromancerAgent()
result = agent.execute_model(config)

Different optimizations (automatic):

RTX 4090:

Backend: llama-cpp with CUDA
Attention: Flash Attention 2
Quantization: 16-bit
Performance: 400 tokens/sec

Intel UHD 770:

Backend: llama-cpp with CPU
Attention: Eager (simple)
Quantization: 4-bit (aggressive)
Memory: Uses system RAM
Performance: 5 tokens/sec

All handled automatically! ✨

from necromancer import UniversalNecromancerAgent, ModelRequest

agent = UniversalNecromancerAgent()
model = agent.inference_engine.load_model("mistral-7b.gguf", 4)

while True:
    prompt = input("You: ")
    if prompt.lower() == "quit":
        break
    
    request = ModelRequest(model_name="mistral", max_tokens=256)
    config = agent.prepare_model(request)
    result = agent.execute_model(config)
    
    print(f"Bot: {result['output']}")

Example 4: Prefer Specific GPU

# Use Intel integrated GPU
agent = UniversalNecromancerAgent(vendor_preference="intel_integrated")

# Use specific device
agent = UniversalNecromancerAgent(device_id=1)

# Use CPU
agent = UniversalNecromancerAgent(vendor_preference="cpu")

Example 5: Batch Processing

agent = UniversalNecromancerAgent()
model = agent.inference_engine.load_model("model.gguf", 4)

prompts = [
    "What is AI?",
    "Explain quantum computing",
    "How does photosynthesis work?"
]

for prompt in prompts:
    request = ModelRequest(model_name="model", max_tokens=256)
    config = agent.prepare_model(request)
    result = agent.execute_model(config)
    print(f"Q: {prompt}")

🐛 Troubleshooting

"No GPU found"

# Make sure NVIDIA drivers are installed
$ nvidia-smi

# Check if GPU is detected
agent = UniversalNecromancerAgent()
agent.list_all_devices()

"Out of memory"

# Use smaller model or more quantization
model = agent.inference_engine.load_model(
    "model.gguf",
    quantization_bits=4  # More aggressive quantization
)

"Low performance on integrated GPU"

Expected! Integrated GPUs have lower bandwidth
Use smaller models (Phi 2.7B)
Consider using CPU instead for some tasks

"CUDA/Driver errors"

# Update NVIDIA drivers
nvidia-smi --query-gpu=index,name,driver_version

# Reinstall pynvml
pip install --upgrade pynvml
