Dearest Monica,

Yes what you say is correct. Only the Myriad plugin can be used with an NCS2 stick.

Thanks,

Dear Monica, Zhao,

If you are talking about InferencePlugin  described here

It's job is Compile and Load - Use the plugin interface wrapper class InferenceEngine::InferencePlugin to call the LoadNetwork() API to compile and load the network on the device. Pass in the per-target load configuration for this compilation and load operation.

So to answer your question, yes  - you must use InferencePlugin.

Hello, can two neural rods be inserted into the single-core host for scheduling at the same time?

Dear Monica,

As I mentioned in one of your other posts I don't know what neural rods are. I tried googling for this term with respect to Artificial Intelligence/Deep Learning and my search came up empty. It seems like a biological term.

Anyway, if a neural nod is synonymous with model, then no - you cannot run more than 1 model per logical core (or in the case of NCS2, per shave).

Thanks,

Shubha
