+# CaffeOnACL
[![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-BSD-blue.svg)](LICENSE)
-Caffe is a deep learning framework made with expression, speed, and modularity in mind.
-It is developed by the Berkeley Vision and Learning Center ([BVLC](http://bvlc.eecs.berkeley.edu)) and community contributors.
+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).

+### Documents
+* [Installation instructions](https://github.com/OAID/CaffeOnACL/blob/master/acl_openailab/installation.md)
+* [User Manuals PDF](https://github.com/OAID/CaffeOnACL/blob/master/acl_openailab/user_manual.pdf)
+* [Performance Report PDF](https://github.com/OAID/CaffeOnACL/blob/master/acl_openailab/performance_report.pdf)
+
+### 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

+### Version 0.2.0 - Jul 2, 2017
-Please join the [caffe-users group](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/caffe-users) or [gitter chat](https://gitter.im/BVLC/caffe) to ask questions and talk about methods and models.
-Framework development discussions and thorough bug reports are collected on [Issues](https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/issues).
+Fix the issues:
-Happy brewing!
+* Compatible with Arm Compute Library version 17.06
+* When OpenCL initialization fails, even if Caffe uses CPU-mode,it doesn't work properly.
-## License and Citation
+### Version 0.1.0 - Jun 2, 2017
