Support for AMD Ryzen AI NPU (on Linux)

[siccovansas]

AMD releases more and more processors with Ryzen AI NPUs. AMD has been slow with creating the required XDNA Linux driver, but they are working on it and it is expected to be available soon.

I'm new to AppAPI, but it seems that the current possible compute devices are CPU, CUDA or ROCm. What is needed for AppAPI to support Ryzen AI NPU/XDNA? It would be great if these Ryzen processors can use their NPUs to speed up Nextcloud AI tasks!

Another question. A Ryzen 8600G has an NPU and the 760M iGPU. There is currently no ROCm support for the 760M iGPU, but if/once this is added would AppAPI be able to use both the NPU and iGPU (and even CPU) at the same time and maybe even for the same task?
UPDATE: I just read in the FAQ that you can select different compute devices for different apps (but not multiple devices for the same app). AMD is also working on a Unigie AI Software Stack, which might make it possible to automatically chose the compute device based on the task.
