Using Intel NPU on DirectML_ESRGAN

[bonihaniboni]

Hello, Thank you for your Hard Work

I have a question about using Intel NPU in DirectML_ESRGAN samples.

Since only QC NPU can run that sample, i try to change code to run that sample in Intel NPU.

So, I refer to DirectMLNpuInference sample, which works well on Intel NPU.

/* Original Code
// DML execution provider prefers these session options.
Ort::SessionOptions sessionOptions;
sessionOptions.DisableMemPattern();
sessionOptions.SetExecutionMode(ExecutionMode::ORT_SEQUENTIAL);
// sessionOptions.DisablePerSessionThreads();

// By passing in an explicitly created DML device & queue, the DML execution provider sends work
// to the desired device. If not used, the DML execution provider will create its own device & queue.
const OrtApi& ortApi = Ort::GetApi();
const OrtDmlApi* ortDmlApi = nullptr;
Ort::ThrowOnError(ortApi.GetExecutionProviderApi("DML", ORT_API_VERSION, reinterpret_cast<const void**>(&ortDmlApi)));
Ort::ThrowOnError(ortDmlApi->SessionOptionsAppendExecutionProvider_DML1(
sessionOptions,
dmlDevice,
d3dQueue
));

// Load ONNX model into a session.
Ort::Env env(OrtLoggingLevel::ORT_LOGGING_LEVEL_WARNING, "DirectML_CV");
// .exe failed from here (under line)
Ort::Session ortSession(env, modelPath.wstring().c_str(), sessionOptions);

*/
// Changed Code from DirectMLNpuInference
 const OrtApi& ortApi = Ort::GetApi();
 static Ort::Env env{ nullptr };
 env = Ort::Env(Ort::ThreadingOptions{});
 env.DisableTelemetryEvents();

 auto sessionOptions = Ort::SessionOptions{};
 sessionOptions.DisableMemPattern();
 sessionOptions.DisablePerSessionThreads();
 sessionOptions.SetExecutionMode(ExecutionMode::ORT_SEQUENTIAL);
 const OrtDmlApi* ortDmlApi = nullptr;
 Ort::ThrowOnError(ortApi.GetExecutionProviderApi("DML", ORT_API_VERSION, reinterpret_cast<const void**>(&ortDmlApi)));
 Ort::ThrowOnError(ortDmlApi->SessionOptionsAppendExecutionProvider_DML1(sessionOptions, dmlDevice, d3dQueue));

 // Create the session
 auto ortSession = Ort::Session(env, L"esrgan.onnx", sessionOptions);
'''

But it still shows "2024-11-26 17:11:56.2608680 [E:onnxruntime:, inference_session.cc:2045 onnxruntime::InferenceSession::Initialize::<lambda_deb1d9a98dc3fb814563870e4f4b9f20>::operator ()] Exception during initialization:" Error. 
If anyone knows the reasons, please tell me... I will be very very appreciated....
