/** @mainpage Introduction

@tableofcontents

The Computer Vision and Machine Learning library is a set of functions optimised for both ARM CPUs and GPUs using SIMD technologies.

Several builds of the library are available using various configurations:
 - OS: Linux, Android or bare metal.
 - Architecture: armv7a (32bit) or arm64-v8a (64bit)
 - Technology: NEON / OpenCL / GLES_COMPUTE / NEON and OpenCL and GLES_COMPUTE
 - Debug / Asserts / Release: Use a build with asserts enabled to debug your application and enable extra validation. Once you are sure your application works as expected you can switch to a release build of the library for maximum performance.

@section S0_1_contact Contact / Support

Please email developer@arm.com

In order to facilitate the work of the support team please provide the build information of the library you are using. To get the version of the library you are using simply run:

    $ strings android-armv7a-cl-asserts/libarm_compute.so | grep arm_compute_version
    arm_compute_version=v16.12 Build options: {'embed_kernels': '1', 'opencl': '1', 'arch': 'armv7a', 'neon': '0', 'asserts': '1', 'debug': '0', 'os': 'android', 'Werror': '1'} Git hash=f51a545d4ea12a9059fe4e598a092f1fd06dc858

@section S0_2_prebuilt_binaries Pre-built binaries

For each release we provide some pre-built binaries of the library [here](https://github.com/ARM-software/ComputeLibrary/releases)

These binaries have been built using the following toolchains:
            - Linux armv7a: gcc-linaro-4.9-2016.02-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf
            - Linux arm64-v8a: gcc-linaro-4.9-2016.02-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu
            - Android armv7a: clang++ / libc++ NDK r17c
            - Android am64-v8a: clang++ / libc++ NDK r17c

@warning Make sure to use a compatible toolchain to build your application or you will get some std::bad_alloc errors at runtime.

 - With debug=0 and asserts=0: All optimisations are enable and no validation is performed, if the application misuses the library it is likely to result in a crash. (Only use this mode once you are sure your application is working as expected).

@b arch: The x86_32 and x86_64 targets can only be used with neon=0 and opencl=1.

@b os: Choose the operating system you are targeting: Linux, Android or bare metal.
@note bare metal can only be used for NEON (not OpenCL), only static libraries get built and NEON's multi-threading support is disabled.

@b build: you can either build directly on your device (native) or cross compile from your desktop machine (cross-compile). In both cases make sure the compiler is available in your path.

@note If you want to natively compile for 32bit on a 64bit ARM device running a 64bit OS then you will have to use cross-compile too.

There is also an 'embed_only' option which will generate all the .embed files for the OpenCL kernels and / or OpenGLES compute shaders. This might be useful if using a different build system to compile the library.

@b Werror: If you are compiling using the same toolchains as the ones used in this guide then there shouldn't be any warning and therefore you should be able to keep Werror=1. If with a different compiler version the library fails to build because of warnings interpreted as errors then, if you are sure the warnings are not important, you might want to try to build with Werror=0 (But please do report the issue either on Github or by an email to developer@arm.com so that the issue can be addressed).

@b opencl / @b neon / @b gles_compute: Choose which SIMD technology you want to target. (NEON for ARM Cortex-A CPUs or OpenCL / GLES_COMPUTE for ARM Mali GPUs)

@b embed_kernels: For OpenCL / GLES_COMPUTE only: set embed_kernels=1 if you want the OpenCL / GLES_COMPUTE kernels to be built in the library's binaries instead of being read from separate ".cl" / ".cs" files. If embed_kernels is set to 0 then the application can set the path to the folder containing the OpenCL / GLES_COMPUTE kernel files by calling CLKernelLibrary::init() / GCKernelLibrary::init(). By default the path is set to "./cl_kernels" / "./cs_shaders".

@b set_soname: Do you want to build the versioned version of the library ?

If enabled the library will contain a SONAME and SHLIBVERSION and some symlinks will automatically be created between the objects.
Example:
  libarm_compute_core.so -> libarm_compute_core.so.1.0.0
  libarm_compute_core.so.1 -> libarm_compute_core.so.1.0.0
  libarm_compute_core.so.1.0.0

@note This options is disabled by default as it requires SCons version 2.4 or above.

@b extra_cxx_flags: Custom CXX flags which will be appended to the end of the build command.

@b build_dir: Build the library in a subfolder of the "build" folder. (Allows to build several configurations in parallel).

@b examples: Build or not the examples

@b validation_tests: Enable the build of the validation suite.

@b benchmark_tests: Enable the build of the benchmark tests

@b pmu: Enable the PMU cycle counter to measure execution time in benchmark tests. (Your device needs to support it)

@b mali: Enable the collection of Mali hardware counters to measure execution time in benchmark tests. (Your device needs to have a Mali driver that supports it)

@b openmp Build in the OpenMP scheduler for NEON.

@note Only works when building with g++ not clang++

@b cppthreads Build in the C++11 scheduler for NEON.

@subsection S3_2_linux Building for Linux

@subsubsection S3_2_1_library How to build the library ?

For Linux, the library was successfully built and tested using the following Linaro GCC toolchain:

 - gcc-linaro-4.9-2016.02-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf
 - gcc-linaro-4.9-2016.02-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu

To cross-compile the library in debug mode, with NEON only support, for Linux 32bit:

	scons Werror=1 -j8 debug=1 neon=1 opencl=0 os=linux arch=armv7a

To cross-compile the library in asserts mode, with OpenCL only support, for Linux 64bit:

	scons Werror=1 -j8 debug=0 asserts=1 neon=0 opencl=1 embed_kernels=1 os=linux arch=arm64-v8a

To cross-compile the library in asserts mode, with GLES_COMPUTE only support, for Linux 64bit:

	scons Werror=1 -j8 debug=0 asserts=1 neon=0 opencl=0 gles_compute=1 embed_kernels=1 os=linux arch=arm64-v8a

You can also compile the library natively on an ARM device by using <b>build=native</b>:

	scons Werror=1 -j8 debug=0 neon=1 opencl=0 os=linux arch=arm64-v8a build=native
	scons Werror=1 -j8 debug=0 neon=1 opencl=0 os=linux arch=armv7a build=native

@note g++ for ARM is mono-arch, therefore if you want to compile for Linux 32bit on a Linux 64bit platform you will have to use a cross compiler.

For example on a 64bit Debian based system you would have to install <b>g++-arm-linux-gnueabihf</b>

	apt-get install g++-arm-linux-gnueabihf

Then run

	scons Werror=1 -j8 debug=0 neon=1 opencl=0 os=linux arch=armv7a build=cross_compile

or simply remove the build parameter as build=cross_compile is the default value:

	scons Werror=1 -j8 debug=0 neon=1 opencl=0 os=linux arch=armv7a

@attention To cross compile with opencl=1 you need to make sure to have a version of libOpenCL matching your target architecture.

@subsubsection S3_2_2_examples How to manually build the examples ?

The examples get automatically built by scons as part of the build process of the library described above. This section just describes how you can build and link your own application against our library.

@note The following command lines assume the arm_compute binaries are present in the current directory or in the system library path. If this is not the case you can specify the location of the pre-built library with the compiler option -L. When building the OpenCL example the commands below assume that the CL headers are located in the include folder where the command is executed.

To cross compile a NEON example for Linux 32bit:

	arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ examples/neon_convolution.cpp utils/Utils.cpp -I. -Iinclude -std=c++11 -mfpu=neon -L. -larm_compute -larm_compute_core -o neon_convolution

To cross compile a NEON example for Linux 64bit:

	aarch64-linux-gnu-g++ examples/neon_convolution.cpp utils/Utils.cpp -I. -Iinclude -std=c++11 -L. -larm_compute -larm_compute_core -o neon_convolution

(notice the only difference with the 32 bit command is that we don't need the -mfpu option and the compiler's name is different)

To cross compile an OpenCL example for Linux 32bit:

	arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ examples/cl_convolution.cpp utils/Utils.cpp -I. -Iinclude -std=c++11 -mfpu=neon -L. -larm_compute -larm_compute_core -o cl_convolution -DARM_COMPUTE_CL

To cross compile an OpenCL example for Linux 64bit:

	aarch64-linux-gnu-g++ examples/cl_convolution.cpp utils/Utils.cpp -I. -Iinclude -std=c++11 -L. -larm_compute -larm_compute_core -o cl_convolution -DARM_COMPUTE_CL

To cross compile a GLES example for Linux 32bit:

	arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ examples/gc_absdiff.cpp utils/Utils.cpp -I. -Iinclude/ -L. -larm_compute -larm_compute_core -std=c++11 -mfpu=neon -DARM_COMPUTE_GC -Iinclude/linux/ -o gc_absdiff

To cross compile a GLES example for Linux 64bit:

	aarch64-linux-gnu-g++ examples/gc_absdiff.cpp utils/Utils.cpp -I. -Iinclude/ -L. -larm_compute -larm_compute_core -std=c++11 -DARM_COMPUTE_GC -Iinclude/linux/ -o gc_absdiff

(notice the only difference with the 32 bit command is that we don't need the -mfpu option and the compiler's name is different)

To cross compile the examples with the Graph API, such as graph_lenet.cpp, you need to link the examples against arm_compute_graph.so too.

@note The compute library must currently be built with both neon and opencl enabled - neon=1 and opencl=1

i.e. to cross compile the "graph_lenet" example for Linux 32bit:

	arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ examples/graph_lenet.cpp utils/Utils.cpp utils/GraphUtils.cpp utils/CommonGraphOptions.cpp -I. -Iinclude -std=c++11 -mfpu=neon -L. -larm_compute_graph -larm_compute -larm_compute_core -Wl,--allow-shlib-undefined -o graph_lenet

i.e. to cross compile the "graph_lenet" example for Linux 64bit:

	aarch64-linux-gnu-g++ examples/graph_lenet.cpp utils/Utils.cpp utils/GraphUtils.cpp utils/CommonGraphOptions.cpp -I. -Iinclude -std=c++11 -L. -larm_compute_graph -larm_compute -larm_compute_core -Wl,--allow-shlib-undefined -o graph_lenet

(notice the only difference with the 32 bit command is that we don't need the -mfpu option and the compiler's name is different)

@note If compiling using static libraries, this order must be followed when linking: arm_compute_graph_static, arm_compute, arm_compute_core

To compile natively (i.e directly on an ARM device) for NEON for Linux 32bit:

	g++ examples/neon_convolution.cpp utils/Utils.cpp -I. -Iinclude -std=c++11 -mfpu=neon -larm_compute -larm_compute_core -o neon_convolution

To compile natively (i.e directly on an ARM device) for NEON for Linux 64bit:

	g++ examples/neon_convolution.cpp utils/Utils.cpp -I. -Iinclude -std=c++11 -larm_compute -larm_compute_core -o neon_convolution

(notice the only difference with the 32 bit command is that we don't need the -mfpu option)

To compile natively (i.e directly on an ARM device) for OpenCL for Linux 32bit or Linux 64bit:

	g++ examples/cl_convolution.cpp utils/Utils.cpp -I. -Iinclude -std=c++11 -larm_compute -larm_compute_core -o cl_convolution -DARM_COMPUTE_CL

To compile natively (i.e directly on an ARM device) for GLES for Linux 32bit or Linux 64bit:

	g++ examples/gc_absdiff.cpp utils/Utils.cpp -I. -Iinclude/ -L. -larm_compute -larm_compute_core -std=c++11 -DARM_COMPUTE_GC -Iinclude/linux/ -o gc_absdiff

To compile natively the examples with the Graph API, such as graph_lenet.cpp, you need to link the examples against arm_compute_graph.so too.
@note The compute library must currently be built with both neon and opencl enabled - neon=1 and opencl=1

i.e. to natively compile the "graph_lenet" example for Linux 32bit:

	g++ examples/graph_lenet.cpp utils/Utils.cpp utils/GraphUtils.cpp utils/CommonGraphOptions.cpp -I. -Iinclude -std=c++11 -mfpu=neon -L. -larm_compute_graph -larm_compute -larm_compute_core -Wl,--allow-shlib-undefined -o graph_lenet

i.e. to natively compile the "graph_lenet" example for Linux 64bit:

	g++ examples/graph_lenet.cpp utils/Utils.cpp utils/GraphUtils.cpp utils/CommonGraphOptions.cpp -I. -Iinclude -std=c++11 L. -larm_compute_graph -larm_compute -larm_compute_core -Wl,--allow-shlib-undefined -o graph_lenet

(notice the only difference with the 32 bit command is that we don't need the -mfpu option)

@note If compiling using static libraries, this order must be followed when linking: arm_compute_graph_static, arm_compute, arm_compute_core

@note These two commands assume libarm_compute.so is available in your library path, if not add the path to it using -L
@note You might need to export the path to OpenCL library as well in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH if Compute Library was build with OpenCL enabled.

To run the built executable simply run:

	LD_LIBRARY_PATH=build ./neon_convolution

or

	LD_LIBRARY_PATH=build ./cl_convolution

@note Examples accept different types of arguments, to find out what they are run the example with \a --help as an argument. If no arguments are specified then random values will be used to execute the graph.

For example:

	LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./graph_lenet --help

Below is a list of the common parameters among the graph examples :
@snippet utils/CommonGraphOptions.h Common graph examples parameters

@subsection S3_3_android Building for Android

For Android, the library was successfully built and tested using Google's standalone toolchains:
 - clang++ from NDK r17c for armv7a
 - clang++ from NDK r17c for arm64-v8a
 - clang++ from NDK r18-beta1 for arm64-v8.2-a with FP16 support

Here is a guide to <a href="https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/standalone_toolchain.html">create your Android standalone toolchains from the NDK</a>

- Download the NDK r17c from here: https://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads/index.html
- Make sure you have Python 2.7 installed on your machine.
- Generate the 32 and/or 64 toolchains by running the following commands:


	$NDK/build/tools/make_standalone_toolchain.py --arch arm64 --install-dir $MY_TOOLCHAINS/aarch64-linux-android-ndk-r17c --stl libc++ --api 21
	$NDK/build/tools/make_standalone_toolchain.py --arch arm --install-dir $MY_TOOLCHAINS/arm-linux-android-ndk-r17c --stl libc++ --api 21

@attention We used to use gnustl but as of NDK r17 it is deprecated so we switched to libc++

@note Make sure to add the toolchains to your PATH:

	export PATH=$PATH:$MY_TOOLCHAINS/aarch64-linux-android-ndk-r17c/bin:$MY_TOOLCHAINS/arm-linux-android-ndk-r17c/bin

@subsubsection S3_3_1_library How to build the library ?

To cross-compile the library in debug mode, with NEON only support, for Android 32bit:

	CXX=clang++ CC=clang scons Werror=1 -j8 debug=1 neon=1 opencl=0 os=android arch=armv7a

To cross-compile the library in asserts mode, with OpenCL only support, for Android 64bit:

	CXX=clang++ CC=clang scons Werror=1 -j8 debug=0 asserts=1 neon=0 opencl=1 embed_kernels=1 os=android arch=arm64-v8a

To cross-compile the library in asserts mode, with GLES_COMPUTE only support, for Android 64bit:

	CXX=clang++ CC=clang scons Werror=1 -j8 debug=0 asserts=1 neon=0 opencl=0 gles_compute=1 embed_kernels=1 os=android arch=arm64-v8a

@subsubsection S3_3_2_examples How to manually build the examples ?

The examples get automatically built by scons as part of the build process of the library described above. This section just describes how you can build and link your own application against our library.

@note The following command lines assume the arm_compute binaries are present in the current directory or in the system library path. If this is not the case you can specify the location of the pre-built library with the compiler option -L. When building the OpenCL example the commands below assume that the CL headers are located in the include folder where the command is executed.

Once you've got your Android standalone toolchain built and added to your path you can do the following:

To cross compile a NEON example:

	#32 bit:
	arm-linux-androideabi-clang++ examples/neon_convolution.cpp utils/Utils.cpp -I. -Iinclude -std=c++11 -larm_compute-static -larm_compute_core-static -L. -o neon_convolution_arm -static-libstdc++ -pie
	#64 bit:
	aarch64-linux-android-clang++ examples/neon_convolution.cpp utils/Utils.cpp -I. -Iinclude -std=c++11 -larm_compute-static -larm_compute_core-static -L. -o neon_convolution_aarch64 -static-libstdc++ -pie

To cross compile an OpenCL example:

	#32 bit:
	arm-linux-androideabi-clang++ examples/cl_convolution.cpp utils/Utils.cpp -I. -Iinclude -std=c++11 -larm_compute-static -larm_compute_core-static -L. -o cl_convolution_arm -static-libstdc++ -pie -DARM_COMPUTE_CL
	#64 bit:
	aarch64-linux-android-clang++ examples/cl_convolution.cpp utils/Utils.cpp -I. -Iinclude -std=c++11 -larm_compute-static -larm_compute_core-static -L. -o cl_convolution_aarch64 -static-libstdc++ -pie -DARM_COMPUTE_CL

To cross compile a GLES example:

	#32 bit:
	arm-linux-androideabi-clang++ examples/gc_absdiff.cpp utils/Utils.cpp -I. -Iinclude -std=c++11 -larm_compute-static -larm_compute_core-static -L. -o gc_absdiff_arm -static-libstdc++ -pie -DARM_COMPUTE_GC
	#64 bit:
	aarch64-linux-android-clang++ examples/gc_absdiff.cpp utils/Utils.cpp -I. -Iinclude -std=c++11 -larm_compute-static -larm_compute_core-static -L. -o gc_absdiff_aarch64 -static-libstdc++ -pie -DARM_COMPUTE_GC

To cross compile the examples with the Graph API, such as graph_lenet.cpp, you need to link the library arm_compute_graph also.
(notice the compute library has to be built with both neon and opencl enabled - neon=1 and opencl=1)

	#32 bit:
	arm-linux-androideabi-clang++ examples/graph_lenet.cpp utils/Utils.cpp utils/GraphUtils.cpp utils/CommonGraphOptions.cpp -I. -Iinclude -std=c++11 -Wl,--whole-archive -larm_compute_graph-static -Wl,--no-whole-archive -larm_compute-static -larm_compute_core-static -L. -o graph_lenet_arm -static-libstdc++ -pie -DARM_COMPUTE_CL
	#64 bit:
	aarch64-linux-android-clang++ examples/graph_lenet.cpp utils/Utils.cpp utils/GraphUtils.cpp utils/CommonGraphOptions.cpp -I. -Iinclude -std=c++11 -Wl,--whole-archive -larm_compute_graph-static -Wl,--no-whole-archive -larm_compute-static -larm_compute_core-static -L. -o graph_lenet_aarch64 -static-libstdc++ -pie -DARM_COMPUTE_CL

@note Due to some issues in older versions of the Mali OpenCL DDK (<= r13p0), we recommend to link arm_compute statically on Android.
@note When linked statically the arm_compute_graph library currently needs the --whole-archive linker flag in order to work properly

Then you need to do is upload the executable and the shared library to the device using ADB:

	adb push neon_convolution_arm /data/local/tmp/
	adb push cl_convolution_arm /data/local/tmp/
	adb push gc_absdiff_arm /data/local/tmp/
	adb shell chmod 777 -R /data/local/tmp/

And finally to run the example:

	adb shell /data/local/tmp/neon_convolution_arm
	adb shell /data/local/tmp/cl_convolution_arm
	adb shell /data/local/tmp/gc_absdiff_arm

For 64bit:

	adb push neon_convolution_aarch64 /data/local/tmp/
	adb push cl_convolution_aarch64 /data/local/tmp/
	adb push gc_absdiff_aarch64 /data/local/tmp/
	adb shell chmod 777 -R /data/local/tmp/

And finally to run the example:

	adb shell /data/local/tmp/neon_convolution_aarch64
	adb shell /data/local/tmp/cl_convolution_aarch64
	adb shell /data/local/tmp/gc_absdiff_aarch64

@note Examples accept different types of arguments, to find out what they are run the example with \a --help as an argument. If no arguments are specified then random values will be used to execute the graph.

For example:
	adb shell /data/local/tmp/graph_lenet --help

In this case the first argument of LeNet (like all the graph examples) is the target (i.e 0 to run on NEON, 1 to run on OpenCL if available, 2 to run on OpenCL using the CLTuner), the second argument is the path to the folder containing the npy files for the weights and finally the third argument is the number of batches to run.

@subsection S3_4_bare_metal Building for bare metal

For bare metal, the library was successfully built using linaros's latest (gcc-linaro-6.3.1-2017.05) bare metal toolchains:
 - arm-eabi for armv7a
 - aarch64-elf for arm64-v8a

Download linaro for <a href="https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/6.3-2017.05/arm-eabi/">armv7a</a> and <a href="https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/6.3-2017.05/aarch64-elf/">arm64-v8a</a>.

@note Make sure to add the toolchains to your PATH: export PATH=$PATH:$MY_TOOLCHAINS/gcc-linaro-6.3.1-2017.05-x86_64_aarch64-elf/bin:$MY_TOOLCHAINS/gcc-linaro-6.3.1-2017.05-x86_64_arm-eabi/bin

@subsubsection S3_4_1_library How to build the library ?

To cross-compile the library with NEON support for baremetal arm64-v8a:

	scons Werror=1 -j8 debug=0 neon=1 opencl=0 os=bare_metal arch=arm64-v8a build=cross_compile cppthreads=0 openmp=0 standalone=1

@subsubsection S3_4_2_examples How to manually build the examples ?

Examples are disabled when building for bare metal. If you want to build the examples you need to provide a custom bootcode depending on the target architecture and link against the compute library. More information about bare metal bootcode can be found <a href="http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.dai0527a/index.html">here</a>.

@subsection S3_5_windows_host Building on a Windows host system

Using `scons` directly from the Windows command line is known to cause
problems. The reason seems to be that if `scons` is setup for cross-compilation
it gets confused about Windows style paths (using backslashes). Thus it is
recommended to follow one of the options outlined below.

@subsubsection S3_5_1_ubuntu_on_windows Bash on Ubuntu on Windows

The best and easiest option is to use
<a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/commandline/wsl/about">Ubuntu on Windows</a>.
This feature is still marked as *beta* and thus might not be available.
However, if it is building the library is as simple as opening a *Bash on
Ubuntu on Windows* shell and following the general guidelines given above.

@subsubsection S3_5_2_cygwin Cygwin

If the Windows subsystem for Linux is not available <a href="https://www.cygwin.com/">Cygwin</a>
can be used to install and run `scons`, the minimum Cygwin version must be 3.0.7 or later. In addition
to the default packages installed by Cygwin `scons` has to be selected in the installer. (`git` might
also be useful but is not strictly required if you already have got the source
code of the library.) Linaro provides pre-built versions of
<a href="http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/">GCC cross-compilers</a>
that can be used from the Cygwin terminal. When building for Android the
compiler is included in the Android standalone toolchain. After everything has
been set up in the Cygwin terminal the general guide on building the library
can be followed.

@subsection S3_6_cl_stub_library The OpenCL stub library

In the opencl-1.2-stubs folder you will find the sources to build a stub OpenCL library which then can be used to link your application or arm_compute against.

If you preferred you could retrieve the OpenCL library from your device and link against this one but often this library will have dependencies on a range of system libraries forcing you to link your application against those too even though it is not using them.

@warning This OpenCL library provided is a stub and *not* a real implementation. You can use it to resolve OpenCL's symbols in arm_compute while building the example but you must make sure the real libOpenCL.so is in your PATH when running the example or it will not work.

To cross-compile the stub OpenCL library simply run:

	<target-prefix>-gcc -o libOpenCL.so -Iinclude opencl-1.2-stubs/opencl_stubs.c -fPIC -shared

For example:

	#Linux 32bit
	arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -o libOpenCL.so -Iinclude opencl-1.2-stubs/opencl_stubs.c -fPIC -shared
	#Linux 64bit
	aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc -o libOpenCL.so -Iinclude -shared opencl-1.2-stubs/opencl_stubs.c -fPIC
	#Android 32bit
	arm-linux-androideabi-clang -o libOpenCL.so -Iinclude -shared opencl-1.2-stubs/opencl_stubs.c -fPIC -shared
	#Android 64bit
	aarch64-linux-android-clang -o libOpenCL.so -Iinclude -shared opencl-1.2-stubs/opencl_stubs.c -fPIC -shared

@subsection S3_7_gles_stub_library The Linux OpenGLES and EGL stub libraries

In the opengles-3.1-stubs folder you will find the sources to build stub EGL and OpenGLES libraries which then can be used to link your Linux application of arm_compute against.

@note The stub libraries are only needed on Linux. For Android, the NDK toolchains already provide the meta-EGL and meta-GLES libraries.

To cross-compile the stub OpenGLES and EGL libraries simply run:

	<target-prefix>-gcc -o libEGL.so -Iinclude/linux opengles-3.1-stubs/EGL.c -fPIC -shared
	<target-prefix>-gcc -o libGLESv2.so -Iinclude/linux opengles-3.1-stubs/GLESv2.c -fPIC -shared

	#Linux 32bit
	arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -o libEGL.so -Iinclude/linux opengles-3.1-stubs/EGL.c -fPIC -shared
	arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -o libGLESv2.so -Iinclude/linux opengles-3.1-stubs/GLESv2.c -fPIC -shared

	#Linux 64bit
	aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc -o libEGL.so -Iinclude/linux opengles-3.1-stubs/EGL.c -fPIC -shared
	aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc -o libGLESv2.so -Iinclude/linux opengles-3.1-stubs/GLESv2.c -fPIC -shared

@subsection S3_8_cl_requirements OpenCL DDK Requirements

@subsubsection S3_8_1_cl_hard_requirements Hard Requirements

Compute Library requires OpenCL 1.1 and above with support of non uniform workgroup sizes, which is officially supported in the Mali OpenCL DDK r8p0 and above as an extension (respective extension flag is \a -cl-arm-non-uniform-work-group-size).

Enabling 16-bit floating point calculations require \a cl_khr_fp16 extension to be supported. All Mali GPUs with compute capabilities have native support for half precision floating points.

Use of @ref CLMeanStdDev function requires 64-bit atomics support, thus \a cl_khr_int64_base_atomics should be supported in order to use.

@subsubsection S3_8_2_cl_performance_requirements Performance improvements

Integer dot product built-in function extensions (and therefore optimized kernels) are available with Mali OpenCL DDK r22p0 and above for the following GPUs : G71, G76. The relevant extensions are \a cl_arm_integer_dot_product_int8, \a cl_arm_integer_dot_product_accumulate_int8 and \a cl_arm_integer_dot_product_accumulate_int16.

OpenCL kernel level debugging can be simplified with the use of printf, this requires the \a cl_arm_printf extension to be supported.

SVM allocations are supported for all the underlying allocations in Compute Library. To enable this OpenCL 2.0 and above is a requirement.

@subsection S3_9_cl_tuner OpenCL Tuner

The OpenCL tuner, a.k.a. CLTuner, is a module of Arm Compute Library that can improve the performance of the OpenCL kernels tuning the Local-Workgroup-Size (LWS).
The optimal LWS for each unique OpenCL kernel configuration is stored in a table. This table can be either imported or exported from/to a file.
The OpenCL tuner runs the same OpenCL kernel for a range of local workgroup sizes and keeps the local workgroup size of the fastest run to use in subsequent calls to the kernel. It supports three modes of tuning with different trade-offs between the time taken to tune and the kernel execution time achieved using the best LWS found. In the Exhaustive mode, it searches all the supported values of LWS. This mode takes the longest time to tune and is the most likely to find the optimal LWS. Normal mode searches a subset of LWS values to yield a good approximation of the optimal LWS. It takes less time to tune than Exhaustive mode. Rapid mode takes the shortest time to tune and finds an LWS value that is at least as good or better than the default LWS value. The mode affects only the search for the optimal LWS and has no effect when the LWS value is imported from a file.
In order for the performance numbers to be meaningful you must disable the GPU power management and set it to a fixed frequency for the entire duration of the tuning phase.

If you wish to know more about LWS and the important role on improving the GPU cache utilization, we suggest having a look at the presentation "Even Faster CNNs: Exploring the New Class of Winograd Algorithms available at the following link:

Tuning a network from scratch can be long and affect considerably the execution time for the first run of your network. It is recommended for this reason to store the CLTuner's result in a file to amortize this time when you either re-use the same network or the functions with the same configurations. The tuning is performed only once for each OpenCL kernel.

CLTuner looks for the optimal LWS for each unique OpenCL kernel configuration. Since a function (i.e. Convolution Layer, Pooling Layer, Fully Connected Layer ...) can be called multiple times but with different parameters, we associate an "id" (called "config_id") to each kernel to distinguish the unique configurations.

    #Example: 2 unique Matrix Multiply configurations
@code{.cpp}
    TensorShape a0 = TensorShape(32,32);
    TensorShape b0 = TensorShape(32,32);
    TensorShape c0 = TensorShape(32,32);
    TensorShape a1 = TensorShape(64,64);
    TensorShape b1 = TensorShape(64,64);
    TensorShape c1 = TensorShape(64,64);

    Tensor a0_tensor;
    Tensor b0_tensor;
    Tensor c0_tensor;
    Tensor a1_tensor;
    Tensor b1_tensor;
    Tensor c1_tensor;

    a0_tensor.allocator()->init(TensorInfo(a0, 1, DataType::F32));
    b0_tensor.allocator()->init(TensorInfo(b0, 1, DataType::F32));
    c0_tensor.allocator()->init(TensorInfo(c0, 1, DataType::F32));
    a1_tensor.allocator()->init(TensorInfo(a1, 1, DataType::F32));
    b1_tensor.allocator()->init(TensorInfo(b1, 1, DataType::F32));
    c1_tensor.allocator()->init(TensorInfo(c1 1, DataType::F32));

    CLGEMM gemm0;
    CLGEMM gemm1;

    // Configuration 0
    gemm0.configure(&a0, &b0, nullptr, &c0, 1.0f, 0.0f);

    // Configuration 1
    gemm1.configure(&a1, &b1, nullptr, &c1, 1.0f, 0.0f);

@subsubsection S3_9_1_cl_tuner_how_to How to use it

All the graph examples in the ACL's folder "examples" and the arm_compute_benchmark accept an argument to enable the OpenCL tuner and an argument to export/import the LWS values to/from a file

    #Enable CL tuner
    ./graph_mobilenet --enable-tuner –-target=CL
    ./arm_compute_benchmark --enable-tuner

    #Export/Import to/from a file
    ./graph_mobilenet --enable-tuner --target=CL --tuner-file=acl_tuner.csv
    ./arm_compute_benchmark --enable-tuner --tuner-file=acl_tuner.csv

If you are importing the CLTuner'results from a file, the new tuned LWS values will be appended to it.

Either you are benchmarking the graph examples or the test cases in the arm_compute_benchmark remember to:

    -# Disable the power management
    -# Keep the GPU frequency constant
    -# Run multiple times the network (i.e. 10).

If you are not using the graph API or the benchmark infrastructure you will need to manually pass a CLTuner object to CLScheduler before configuring any function.

@code{.cpp}
CLTuner tuner;

// Setup Scheduler
CLScheduler::get().default_init(&tuner);
@endcode

After the first run, the CLTuner's results can be exported to a file using the method "save_to_file()".
- tuner.save_to_file("results.csv");

This file can be also imported using the method "load_from_file("results.csv")".
- tuner.load_from_file("results.csv");
