Motivation
I’ve noticed that ONNX Runtime natively supports Ascend NPU, as referenced in the ONNX Runtime-CANN-ExecutionProvider. Additionally, many developers, including myself, are using InsightFace on Ascend NPU devices, as seen in this PR. With that in mind, I would like to contribute by enhancing the integration of Ascend NPU with InsightFace.
Change
This contribution introduces Ascend NPU as a new backend for InsightFace. Unlike this PR, this change ensure that the Ascend NPU backend is added when an Ascend device is available.
Test
We ran the examples/in_swapper code, and the functionality works as expected.
