openSUSE Begins Rolling Out Intel NPU Support (www.phoronix.com)

Via the openSUSE Innovator Initiative, packaging of the Intel Neural Processing Unit (NPU) driver for the openSUSE ecosystem has begun. This is helping to jump-start the Intel NPU support within the openSUSE space although user-space applications ready to leverage the Intel NPU still remains very limited.

The Intel NPU driver support is now available via -- current "experimental" -- packages across openSUSE Tumbleweed, openSUSE Slowroll, openSUSE Leap 15.6, and openSUSE Leap 16.0. This Intel NPU driver is available as the linux-npu-driver. Yes, the name is rather poor considering it's Intel-specific and the "linux-" rather redundant given it's within the confines of openSUSE.

Cool! I didn't know there was a user space component needed (I guess that makes sense, just didn't think about it). I can't wait to see what Ollama looks like accelerated with one of these.
