Роль спеціалізованих NPU у прискоренні обчислень штучного інтелекту

Abstract

This paper analyzes Neural Processing Units (NPUs) as a specialized solution for accelerating artificial intelligence algorithms. Key architectural differences between NPUs and traditional CPUs/GPUs are examined, specifically dataflow principles and quantization, which ensure high performance. The study defines the role of these processors in the development of Edge AI technologies, enabling energy-efficient and secure on-device computing while reducing reliance on cloud services.
