Summary of Changes

Hello @csukuangfj, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request enhances the project's documentation by updating the README.md file. The primary goal is to clearly communicate the project's support for various Neural Processing Units (NPUs), providing users with a quick overview and direct links to relevant documentation for Rockchip, Qualcomm, and Ascend NPUs. This improves discoverability and clarity regarding hardware acceleration capabilities.

Highlights

• README Update: A new section titled "Supported NPUs" has been added to the README.md file.
• NPU Support Listing: The new section includes a table detailing support for Rockchip NPU (RKNN), Qualcomm NPU (QNN), and Ascend NPU.
• Documentation Links: Corresponding documentation links for each of the supported NPUs have been added to the README for easy access.

Code Review

This pull request updates the README file to include a new section on supported NPUs, listing Rockchip, Qualcomm, and Ascend NPUs. The change is straightforward and improves the documentation. I've suggested a minor formatting improvement to the new table for better readability in the raw markdown source.

[gemini-code-assist]

The formatting of this table is a bit inconsistent, making it harder to read in its raw markdown form. I suggest cleaning up the spacing, removing unnecessary spaces in the header, and adding alignment markers to improve readability and maintainability.
