Intel Makes Open-Source Its Python NPU Acceleration Library

Intel has made open-source its NPU Acceleration Library (intel-npu-acceleration-library) as a user-space library for Windows and Linux systems for interfacing with the Neural Processing Unit (NPU) found initially on their new Meteor Lake laptops.

Intel has long been developing the iVPU Linux kernel driver that is upstream in the kernel for supporting the Intel NPUs (formerly known as VPUs) beginning with Meteor Lake. This NPU Acceleration Library is a convenient Python library for leveraging the NPU's potential.
