Snapdragon Neural Processing Engine. Pronounced "snap-e". Its
basically the framework someone goes through to run a neural network
on a Qualcomm mobile SoC. SNPE can utilize various hardware resources
such as the applications CPU, GPU, and dedicated compute resources
such as a NSP, if available. Its been around for over a year, and
much more information can be found by just doing a simple search since
SNPE is pretty much a unique search term currently.
