NPU support on yolov8

[weberwcwei]

Describe the bug When attempting to compile the YOLOv8 model using the NPU, a RuntimeError occurs.

Sample code

from pathlib import Path
import openvino as ov

models_dir = Path("./model_zoo")
DET_MODEL_NAME = "yolov8n"

model_path = models_dir / f"{DET_MODEL_NAME}_openvino_model/{DET_MODEL_NAME}.xml"
core = ov.Core()
model = core.read_model(model_path)
model.reshape([1, 3, 640, 640])
compiled_model = core.compile_model(model, "NPU")

Installation instructions (Please mark the checkbox) [X] I followed the installation guide at https://github.com/openvinotoolkit/openvino_notebooks#-installation-guide to install the notebooks.

Additional context NPU driver version: 32.0.100.2714

Can you provide details about the platform you are using, which HW you are running on? Which operating system do you use? Which version of OpenVINO do you use?

When using the current version of the notebook "http://localhost:8888/lab/tree/yolov8-optimization/yolov8-object-detection.ipynb" then I still see the problem of failing compilation with like [...] from unsupported opset: opset14, as mentioned in other issues, for which workarounds exist (see e.g. "https://github.com/openvinotoolkit/openvino_notebooks/issues/2167#issuecomment-2269827840").

Hi @brmarkus ,

Here are the platform details:

• OS: Windows 11
• OpenVINO: 2024.5.0.dev20240911
• NPU: Meteor Lake Ultra 5

Follow your mention, I tried changing the maxpool operation from opset14 to opset8 in xml, and the model compiled successfully.

I also find a similar open issue in here (https://github.com/openvinotoolkit/openvino/issues/26510).

I think the dev-team is still working on this, please expect follow-up questions from them, like asking you to try a newer version or patches.
