Title. In other words, to make the system redirect workload to the NPU -first- and then to the CPU when it reaches 100% usage? Like both NPU and CPU were a single, huge CPU instead of being separated?
Thanks in advance.

Well, then – how about making the NPU process zram workloads (only)? I’d even ask “how about making it behave like a GPU instead of a NPU” but eh, I don’t think it’d top or even have a similar performance than… any GPU available in the market?
Because apparently everyone and their mother wants to stick a NPU on every PC, and I’m not planning on using AI ever, so… why not give it another purpose instead of letting it collect dust?
-EDIT- Oh, how about making the NPU behave like a CPU but it (only) process “low-process-demanding” applications like video editors, window managers, etc? If anything, freeing up a few extra %'s might be a good idea for a few PCs.
To be clear, I’m not saying your idea is bad, just that I don’t see practical benefits to making use of it, other than “it’s there doing nothing.” That might just as easily be my lack of imagination.
I like the way you think, and perhaps there’s a use case there. I have to wonder how much of a performance bump you’d get by doing something like that; min/maxing doesn’t really interest me, so I’ll wait to see benchmarks of anyone who actually tries something like this.
