Description
Currently, only a subset of devices can be passed through, with GPUs being one of them (albeit limited with only DirectX based frameworks).
With the rise and push of NPU/IPUs built into processors, it would be beneficial to provide NPU acceleration in Windows Containers to be able to containerize our AI/ML workloads.
