#### User Mode Driver with Compiler Software for the Intel® NPU (Neural Processing Unit) Accelerator

This snap bundles software for supporting the Intel® NPU, which is an AI inference accelerator integrated with Intel client CPUs, starting from Intel® Core™ Ultra generation of CPUs (formerly known as Meteor Lake). It enables energy-efficient execution of artificial neural network tasks. This snap serves primarily as a content producer snap providing the oneAPI Level-Zero and user mode driver (UMD) with compiler libraries. It also includes device firmware and an app that validates the UMD.
