Backend Guide

Overview

The core mlia repository provides backend discovery and backend management commands, while many backend implementations now live in split plugin repositories.

This page exists so the top-level README.md does not need to carry the full backend catalog and reference detail.

Backend management commands

Use mlia backend to inspect and manage installed backends:

mlia backend list
mlia backend install <backend>
mlia backend uninstall <backend>
mlia backend --help

Depending on the backend, installation may be automatic or may require an explicit local path or extra setup.

How to discover backend options

Backend-specific CLI options are exposed through the core command-line experience when the relevant backend is installed.

A practical discovery sequence is:

mlia backend list
mlia check --help

This lets you see both the installed backend set and any backend-specific command-line options that MLIA is currently exposing.

Backend families

Hardware-specific analysis backends

Some plugin repos provide backends that perform compatibility or performance analysis for a hardware family or platform family.

Dependency backends

Some backends exist mainly to support larger MLIA pipelines by converting models or preparing intermediate artifacts. Users may see them in mlia backend list without needing to reason about them as the primary analysis backend for a run.

Where detailed backend docs live now

For backend-specific installation, metrics, troubleshooting, and CLI examples, use the split plugin repo that owns the backend you are working with.

Why this split helps

Moving detailed backend reference material out of the core README keeps the front page shorter and easier to scan, while allowing plugin repos to own the detail that changes most often.
