Running ASR for smart homes in the NPU of Intel processors
The article discusses the author's experience running automatic speech recognition (ASR) for smart homes using the NPU of Intel processors. The author upgraded their home server and explored the performance of the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K's built-in NPU for ASR tasks. The results showed significant improvements in latency and energy efficiency compared to traditional CPU processing.
- ▪The author transitioned from using an AMD GPU to an Intel Core Ultra 7 265K for ASR tasks.
- ▪Using the NPU resulted in 3-6 times faster processing and 10-22 times less energy consumption per transcription.
- ▪The author packaged their solution into a Docker image for easier deployment.
