Mace-cl-compiled-program.bin !!install!! -
This is normal during the initial cold boot of an application before the framework caches the code.
When the file is missing or cannot be found in the expected location, the framework will log a warning and proceed with the slower JIT compilation. You might see a message like: "There is no precompiled OpenCL binary in all OpenCL binary paths" .

By loading this binary directly, MACE bypasses the compilation phase, significantly reducing the "warm-up" time or first-inference latency for AI-powered features like camera scene detection or face recognition. mace-cl-compiled-program.bin
Mobile processors (System on Chips or SoCs) consist of multiple processing units: the Central Processing Unit (CPU), the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), and often a dedicated Neural Processing Unit (NPU) or Digital Signal Processor (DSP).
is a binary cache file generated by the Mobile AI Compute Engine (MACE) , an open-source deep learning framework developed by Xiaomi for mobile and IoT devices . What is this file?
Run the MACE tuning tool on the device to generate the file. This is normal during the initial cold boot
If you are currently debugging or building an app with MACE, let me know:
When MACE initializes a model (e.g., a neural network for camera scene detection), it checks for the existence of mace-cl-compiled-program.bin .
: It is used to reduce the "warm-up" time of an AI model by loading the binary directly rather than compiling OpenCL source code from scratch each time the app starts. Read the Docs # View first 64 bytes xxd mace-cl-compiled-program
: If the file is missing, corrupted, or built for a different GPU, MACE falls back to standard runtime compilation and generates a new .bin file. File Variants and Naming Conventions
The file typically consists of several sections, including:
: Running binaries compiled for an old Qualcomm Adreno GPU on a newer ARM Mali GPU causes critical system faults.
When deploying custom configurations, developers often see warnings in their terminal output, such as: File /data/local/tmp/mace_run/mace_cl_compiled_program.bin does not exist
