Reverse-Engineering the RK3588 NPU to Run Vision Transformers 15x Faster

The article details the process of reverse-engineering the Rockchip RK3588 NPU to overcome hardware limitations that prevent running modern Vision Transformers like SmolVLM. The author discovered that while the chip promises 6 TOPS of NPU performance, the standard Computer Vision SDK fails with Vision Transformers due to memory constraints from large Attention matrices. Through reverse-engineering, they identified hardware limits, defeated compiler optimizations, and built a custom sharding runtime that achieved 15x faster performance for SmolVLM.
