If industry leaders in the tech world are to be believed, Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning are the future of mobile. Smartphones currently play a central role in our lives, assisting us when we perform many of our daily tasks. In the future, smartphones would be able to predict our tasks and perform them, and we are starting to see glimpses of this future with advancements in machine learning and neural networks. Furthermore, such methods allow the ongoing improvement of technologies like self-driving vehicles and augmented reality.
To promote work on this end, Qualcomm has announced the availability of the Qualcomm Snapdragon Neural Processing Engine Software Development Kit, offered to developers through Qualcomm's Developer Network.
The Snapdragon NPE is the first deep learning software framework designed for Snapdragon's Mobile Platforms. NPE is engineered to provide developers with the software tools needed to accelerate deep neural network workloads on mobile and other edge devices powered by Snapdragon processors. Developers can choose the optimal Snapdragon core for the desired user experience, including the Qualcomm Kryo CPU, Qualcomm Adreno GPU or the Qualcomm Hexagon DSP. The NPE provides the tools needed to deliver on-device neural network-driven user experiences.
Developers can take advantage of deep learning user experiences like style transfers and filters for augmented reality, scene detection, facial recognition, natural language understanding, object tracking and avoidance, gesturing, and text recognition, among other functions. The Snapdragon Neural Processing Engine is already being utilized by several industry majors — for example, Facebook recently integrated the Snapdragon NPE into the camera of the official Facebook app to accelerate Caffe2-powered AR features. Through the NPE, Facebook managed to achieve five times better performance on the Adreno GPU, compared to a generic CPU implementation.
"The Snapdragon NPE was created to give developers the tools to easily migrate intelligence from the cloud to edge devices, and affords them the flexibility to target the appropriate Snapdragon core with the power and performance profile for a given user experience.""
The Snapdragon Neural Processing Engine is compatible with Snapdragon 600 and 800 Series Mobile Platforms, and is designed to support common deep learning frameworks such as Caffe, Caffe2 and Tensorflow, and also offers support for custom layers. The SDK includes runtime software, libraries, APIs, offline model conversion tools, sample code, documentation, and debugging and benchmarking tools. Once again, the NPE SDK can be found at the Qualcomm Developer Network page.

Lenovo launched the new K6 Power smartphone a couple of months back and it is one of the most popular devices that Lenovo launched in recent times. It is a budget mid-ranged offering from the company which packs a huge battery and hence the name Power. It will easily last you for upto 2 days with medium usage on a single charge. However, if you own this smartphone, then you already know that the software on it is not the best one out there.
However, there is not a lot that you can do, other than flashing a third party custom ROM. There are a ton of options available for that in the market. Well, if you are wondering how to do it, then you are in the right place. Today we will show you exactly How To Install Android Nougat Based 5.8.3 Resurrection Remix ROM On Lenovo K6 Power Smartphone.
About the ROM
Below are some of the working features of the smartphone on this ROM –
Camera rear/front (Photographs)
Camera rear/front (Video – Use Camu from Play Store)
Auto brightness.
Fingerprint.
Bluetooth, Mic, Wi-Fi, GPS, IR
Hotspot
RIL
Now that it is out of the way, let's check out some of the requirements that are necessary for the installation. Below are some of the pre-requisite for the same –
Pre-requisite
The first thing which you need to make sure is that you are creating a complete backup of your files. Since we will be completely wiping the internal memory of the phone, you will end up loosing all your files.
You also need to make sure that you are installing a custom recovery software. You can install any of your choices, however, we suggest you go for TWRP for this installation.
You also need to make sure that the battery in the tablet has about 60-percent charge before you begin the installation. If your smartphone's battery dies during the installation, then you may end up with a completely bricked smartphone.
And lastly it is also necessary to make sure that you have downloaded the firmware file which is necessary for the installation. Without this file, you won't be able to proceed with the installation and hence we suggest you download the same from the link given below.
Assuming that you have downloaded the files given in the link above, it is now time to begin the installation process.
The first thing which you need to make sure is that you copy the downloaded file to the smartphone.
Once done, simply turn off your phone and enter into the recovery mode. You can do this by pressing Volume Down + Power Key at the same time.
After this, once you are in the recovery menu, look for wipe and format option ⇒ wipe data, system, cache and Dalvik cache and initiate it.
Once done, now return back to the recovery menu and tap on Install.
Now it will ask you to browse for the firmware file which you had copied earlier. Simply navigate to the same and select it.
After that simply swipe to begin the installation.
Do make a note that the installation will take some time and hence we suggest you be patient with the same.
After it is done, before rebooting you can also choose to install the GApps.
Once this is done, your device will automatically reboot into the new ROM.
Do make a note that the first reboot may take a long time and hence we suggest you stay patient with the same. Having said, if you have any queries regarding the setup, then be sure to let us know by commenting down below and also stay tuned to Android Advices for more tutorials like this.
