Hi,
I have a simple program for matrix multiplication using OpenVINO (Version: 2024.4.0) on Windows 11. It works fine on CPU and GPU, but it crashes on NPU upon exit. If anyone has any clues on how to fix this, I would really appreciate it. Thank you!
Regards,
-yanny

Hi yanny,
Thanks for your patience.
To further investigate the issue, could you please install the OpenVINO™ 2023.3 LTS from an Archive file via the following link and see if you encounter the same issue when running the C++ application with the NPU plugin?
https://storage.openvinotoolkit.org/repositories/openvino/packages/2023.3/windows
Steps to install the OpenVINO™ 2023.3 LTS on Windows from an Archive File is available here:

Hi yanny,
Thanks for reaching out to us.
I've built your application in Release mode and run the application with OpenVINO™ Toolkit 2024.4 on a Ubuntu 22.04 LTS machine. The application ran on the NPU plugin successfully and the output results are similar to your output results as shown as follows:
However, I didn't receive the call stack messages. Could you please take a screenshot and share the screenshot with us for further investigation?
Regards,
Wan

Hi Wan,
Thank you so much for testing out the code for me. I am delighted to know that the code works on a different machine.
Here is the callstack and output on my NPU crash. Please let me know if you need more information, I am happy to provide more information.

Hi yanny,
I am currently getting started to write kernels for NPU, I would like to know what OpenVINO version are you curently using and is it helpful for writing kernels?

Hi yanny,
I'm glad to know that the NPU plugin worked on your machine when using OpenVINO™ 2023.3 LTS.
If you need additional information from Intel, please submit a new question as this thread will no longer be monitored.
Regards,
Wan
