+### 4. Accelerate with BIGDL_OPT_IPEX
+
+To accelerate speculative decoding on CPU, you can install our validated version of [IPEX 2.3.0+git0c63936](https://github.com/intel/intel-extension-for-pytorch/tree/0c63936d7a6740679987920367ae2e0cdb375b2e) by following steps: (Other versions of IPEX may have some conflicts and can not accelerate speculative decoding correctly.)
+
+#### 4.1 Download IPEX installation script
+```bash
+# Depend on Conda and GCC 12.3
+wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/intel/intel-extension-for-pytorch/0c63936d7a6740679987920367ae2e0cdb375b2e/scripts/compile_bundle.sh
+```
+
+#### 4.2 Activate your conda environment
+```bash
+conda activate <your_conda_env>
+```
+#### 4.3 Set VER_IPEX in compile_bundle.sh to 0c63936d7a6740679987920367ae2e0cdb375b2e
+```bash
+sed -i 's/VER_IPEX=main/VER_IPEX=0c63936d7a6740679987920367ae2e0cdb375b2e/g' "compile_bundle.sh"
+```
+
+#### 4.4 Install IPEX and other dependencies
+```bash
+# Install IPEX 2.3.0+git0c63936
+bash compile_bundle.sh 
+
+# Update transformers
+pip install transformers==4.36.2
+```
+
+After installed IPEX, you can set `BIGDL_OPT_IPEX=true` to get target model acceleration. Currently `Llama2 7b and 13b` are supported.
+
+```bash
+source bigdl-llm-init -t
+export BIGDL_OPT_IPEX=true
+export OMP_NUM_THREADS=48 # you can change 48 here to #cores of one processor socket
+numactl -C 0-47 -m 0 python ./speculative.py --repo-id-or-model-path REPO_ID_OR_MODEL_PATH --prompt PROMPT --n-predict N_PREDICT
+```
