Intel NPU usage

gplayer — Sun, 06 Oct 2024 14:44:40 GMT

Hi, I'm not experienced about NPU or Neural programing.

My laptop processor is Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 5 125H. And when I using win11, there is no NPU process. I'm using Katrain (KaTrain is a tool for analyzing games and playing go with AI) also there is no NPU usage.

If so, can I use NPU of my laptop? Can I use NPU with my pgm Katrain.

Am I wait for some NPU using programs come to windows. Or can I use it with some intel software? thank you,

The NPU works as a PCIe devices in windows OS, It looks like you didn't install the driver of NPU. I think you can do the following to check whether you have install it or not:

1. Open task manager --> Performance and check whether there exists the NPU core;

2. If not, go to this page https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/794734/intel-npu-driver-windows.html to download the driver and install it.
