Hi, the new NPU Chips will make a benefit for Windows Recall function. But what will GNU/Linux systems do with these chips? Is there already development happening? What's the path ahead?
Neural Processing Unit (NPU) vs. Linux
- Thread starter tinfoil-hat
- Start date
Isn't that NPU going to be used by the new "Recall feature" introduced by Windows several weeks back? Are you worried that same type of "feature" is going to be introduced into a Linux distribution?

there is already a driver out there for intel NPU chips

No I don't worry about that, I just wonder, what distros will do with this chip instead

FWIW
A neural network is a group of interconnected units called neurons that send signals to one another. Neurons can be either biological cells or mathematical models. While individual neurons are simple, many of them together in a network can perform complex tasks. There are two main types of neural network.

- In neuroscience, a biological neural network is a physical structure found in brains and complex nervous systems – a population of nerve cells connected by synapses.
- In machine learning, (pc's and laptops etc) an artificial neural network is a mathematical model used to approximate nonlinear functions. Artificial neural networks are used to solve artificial intelligence problems.
