Neural Processing Units (NPUs) are specialized hardware accelerators used for neural networks and machine learning applications.
NPUs are integrated with CPU/GPU in devices like smartphones, IoT devices, drones, and in standalone form in data centers.
Major tech companies including Google, Apple, Qualcomm utilize NPUs extensively for various applications.
NPUs enable efficient inference through parallelism and mixed precision, paving the way for intelligent and power-conscious devices in the AI revolution.
