@texasmichelle Reducing any friction, especially during the setup process, would definitely help new and existing users. First experience with a new platform matters. (Nice to haves: can verify/describe/list components, check the health, offer to upgrade/reinstall bits, if necessary). |
When installing the S4TF toolchain, it's not always clear whether all components are intact and versions are compatible. It would be helpful to have a quick verification tool that uses the toolchain and reports success.
This is especially useful for installations involving accelerators, so the first two features could be:
Device.defaultXLAisDevice(kind: .GPU, ordinal: 0, backend: .XLA))This could be a very basic Swift tool that automates the steps we've been taking manually.
