How to choose the number of SHAVE cores in NCS2?

[alexandru_irimiea]

I see here https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/transitioning-from-intel-movidius-neural-compute-sdk-to-openvino-toolkit OpenVINO doesn't allow a custom number of SHAVE cores to be chosen "OpenVINO toolkit decides how to best run the model", (the -s option from older NCSDK).

May I ask: how can I choose a custom number of cores to run models on NCS2?

Hi alexandru.irimiea,

The OpenVINO toolkit does not have an equivalent to the -s (shaves) option as the Intel Neural Compute SDK. It is not possible to choose how many shaves your network runs on, the model optimizer will choose the number of shaves for optimal configuration.
