What this repository is

dpnp is the Data Parallel Extension for NumPy: a NumPy-compatible Python API with accelerated execution backends and cross-platform packaging/CI.

For detailed documentation, build instructions, and contribution guidelines, see:

• README.md (project overview and quickstart)
• CONTRIBUTING.md (if exists, or refer to project docs)

How to work in this repo

• Keep changes small and single-purpose (bug fix, perf, docs, or infra).
• Preserve NumPy-compatible API behavior by default; call out intentional behavior changes in PR text.
• Pair user-visible changes with tests and docs/examples updates.
• Avoid duplicating mutable details (versions/flags/matrix) in instruction docs.

For Copilot behavior policy (flow, source-of-truth, edit hygiene), see:

• .github/copilot-instructions.md (canonical for Copilot behavior)
