# HailoRT # HailoRT is a light-weight and production-grade run-time library, which runs on the host processor, and implements a robust user-space run-time library (HailoRT Library) responsible for operating a Hailo device, with intuitive APIs in C/C++ for optimized performance. HailoRT is comprised of the following main components: - HailoRT Library. - HailoRT CLI - command line application used to control the Hailo device, run inference using the device, collect inference statistics and device events, etc. - [**HailoRT PCIe Driver**](https://github.com/hailo-ai/hailort-drivers) - the device driver used to manage the Hailo device, communicate with the device and transfer data to/from the device. The PCIe driver includes the Hailo-8 firmware that runs on the Hailo device, manages the boot and control of the Hailo device. - pyHailoRT - HailoRT Python API (wraps the run-time library) - HailoRT GStreamer element (HailoNet). HailoRT supports Linux and Windows, and can be compiled from sources to be integrated with various x86 and ARM processors. ## Usage See [**hailo.ai developer zone documentation**](https://hailo.ai/developer-zone/documentation/hailort/latest/) (registration is required for full documentation access).
