Is it possible to use the NPU as "another" CPU? (lemmy.world)

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.

Yeah, that's my understanding. It just isn't good at generalized processing, because that's not what it was designed for. The CPU, on the other hand, was designed to be a jack of all trades.
