@ranierin Unreal Engine 5.5 seems to bring some exciting updates to NNE according to the release notes, Unreal Engine 5.5 Release Notes | Unreal Engine 5.5 Documentation | Epic Developer Community | Epic Developer Community, can you confirm some questions and comment on this ?
[NNE] Extended NNERuntimeORTDml to implement NPU runtime interface.
does this mean NNE now supports inference on Snapdragon chips NPU and Apple M chips NPUs ?
NNERuntimeORT upgrade ONNX Runtime to version 1.17.1 and its required dependency DirectML to version 1.13.1.
definitely a welcome improvement for more advanced models
Our plugin NNERuntimeORT already includes a DirectML runtime that implements the GPU interface for neural network inference outside the rendering of a frame. We implement the necessary infrastructure to let this backend also implement the RDG interface for in-frame inference, providing a fast and powerful execution provider on DX12 based desktop systems.
is this what I think it is ? like does this mean we don’t have to worry about the complexity of running models using RDG and can use the same interface as the other runtimes?
