Is it possible to use the NPU as "another" CPU? (self.linux4noobs)

Title. In other words, to make the system redirect workload to the NPU -first- and then to the CPU when it reaches 100% usage? Like both NPU and CPU were a single, huge CPU instead of being separated?

Thanks in advance.

Distributing tasks dynamically between identical individual processors is already a difficult thing. Getting another processor of a wildly different architecture and purpose in there will probably not work well at all.
