Overview

Concrete tool for validating Python environment and hardware configuration on Windows for IPEX-LLM deployment.

Description

The main() function orchestrates a comprehensive environment check for Windows systems. It validates Python version (>=3.9), reports versions of key dependencies (transformers, PyTorch, IPEX-LLM, IPEX), and queries hardware configuration (total/chip memory, CPU specifications, Intel GPU drivers) via Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) subprocess calls.

Usage

Use this as a first diagnostic step when setting up IPEX-LLM on Windows. It identifies missing dependencies, incompatible versions, and hardware configuration issues that may affect inference performance.
