NVIDIA GPU plugin operation set specification
June 18, 2026 ยท View on GitHub
This specification document based on opset12 operation set supported in OpenVINO.
Examples of operation instances are expressed as IR V10 xml snippets. Such IR is generated by the Model Optimizer.
The semantics match corresponding nGraph operation classes declared in namespace opset12.
NOTE: NVIDIA GPU plugin doesn't support operations with dynamic shape.
