Show HN: Npunlock – Run custom C kernels for Intel NPUs

The main use is enabling developers to write their own NPU kernels according to their respective need, instead of picking workaround from what Intel provides in OpenVINO. I think the project would benefit three scenarios:

1. Implement uncommon NN operators.

2. Implement a high-precision (FP32, etc.) version of existing OpenVINO operators for numerically sensitive usage.

3. Implement a mega kernel that fuse several small kernels together to reduce SHAVE invocations, and potentially improve performance.
