Minim Serve on Qnap TS-AI642 with NPU - granosalis - 19-10-2024 14:48

I just purchased this NAS from Qnap, which seemed very interesting and innovative. The heart of the TS-AI642 is an 8-core 64-bit CPU, a GPU, and uniquely in its class, an NPU (Neural Processing Unit) capable of accelerating certain AI functions. My primary goal is to use MinimServer for music, but being a photography enthusiast, I'll also use it to store photos.
Given this NAS's additional specific capabilities, I wonder if there are any functions of MinimServer or MinimStreamer (ffmpeg) that could benefit from this special architecture.

Thanks and regards,
Giuseppe

I am not aware of any features of MinimServer or MinimStreamer/ffmpeg that would benefit from a Neural Processing Unit.
