Release 18.05
This release of Arm NN integrates the latest Compute Library and adds additional NNAPI support.
New Features:
- In general, the amount of RAM needed for a loaded network has been reduced by 20-30% compared to release 18.03.
- The MUL operation now supports operands of different shapes.
- The CONV2D operation supports more shapes and padding options when used with QUANT8_ASYMM tensors.
- The latest 8-bit quantized operations from Compute Library have been integrated. In testing, 8-bit quantized mobilenets models are 3x faster compared to release 18.03.
Other changes:
- This release of ArmNN requires at least release 18.05 of the Compute Library.
- Fixed an issue where pooling operations with different pooling width and height would produce the wrong output.
- The CONCAT layer is now supported for all concatenation dimensions for rank 4 tensors
- Overall efficiency has been improved by reducing the number of reshapes required for intermediate tensors
Known issues:
- CONCAT is not supported for rank 1 and rank 2 tensors. This restriction will be lifted in a future release.
