The **Arm Compute Library** is a collection of low-level software functions optimized for Arm Cortex CPU and Arm Mali GPU architectures, targeted at a variety of use-cases including: **image processing**, **computer vision and machine learning**. [![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT-blue.svg)](LICENSE)

**OPEN** AI LAB ported the [Caffe](http://caffe.berkeleyvision.org/) to support Arm Compute Library on Rockchip RK3399. The target OS is Ubuntu 16.04. [![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-BSD-blue.svg)](LICENSE)

CaffeOnACL is a project that is maintained by **OPEN** AI LAB, it uses Arm Compute Library (NEON+GPU) to speed up [Caffe](http://caffe.berkeleyvision.org/) and provide utilities to debug, profile and tune application performance.

The release version is 0.3.0, is based on [Rockchip RK3399](http://www.rock-chips.com/plus/3399.html) Platform, target OS is Ubuntu 16.04. Can download the source code from [OAID/CaffeOnACL](https://github.com/OAID/CaffeOnACL)

* The ARM Computer Vision and Machine Learning library is a set of functions optimised for both ARM CPUs and GPUs using SIMD technologies. See also [Arm Compute Library](https://github.com/ARM-software/ComputeLibrary).
* Caffe is a fast open framework for deep learning. See also [Caffe](https://github.com/BVLC/caffe).

### Arm Compute Library Compatibility Issues :
There are some compatibility issues between ACL and Caffe Layers, we bypass it to Caffe's original layer class as the workaround solution for the below issues

* Normalization in-channel issue
* Tanh issue
* Softmax supporting multi-dimension issue
* Group issue

Performance need be fine turned in the future

# Release History
The Caffe based version is [793bd96351749cb8df16f1581baf3e7d8036ac37](https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/tree/793bd96351749cb8df16f1581baf3e7d8036ac37).

### Version 0.3.0 - Aug 26, 2017
Support Arm Compute Library version 17.06 with 4 new layers added

* Batch Normalization Layer
* Direct convolution Layer
* Locally Connect Layer
* Concatenate layer


### Version 0.2.0 - Jul 2, 2017

Fix the issues:

* Compatible with Arm Compute Library version 17.06
* When OpenCL initialization fails, even if Caffe uses CPU-mode,it doesn't work properly.

### Version 0.1.0 - Jun 2, 2017

Initial version supports 10 Layers accelerated by Arm Compute Library version 17.05 :

* Convolution Layer
* Pooling Layer
* LRN Layer
* ReLU Layer
* Sigmoid Layer
* Softmax Layer
* TanH Layer
* AbsVal Layer
* BNLL Layer
* InnerProduct Layer
