@section delegateintro About the delegate
'armnnDelegate' is a library for accelerating certain TensorFlow Lite (TfLite) operators on Arm hardware. It can be
integrated in TfLite using its delegation mechanism. TfLite will then delegate the execution of operators supported by
Arm NN to Arm NN.

The main difference to our @ref S6_tf_lite_parser is the amount of operators you can run with it. If none of the active
backends support an operation in your model you won't be able to execute it with our parser. In contrast to that, TfLite
only delegates operations to the armnnDelegate if it does support them and otherwise executes them itself. In other
words, every TfLite model can be executed and every operation in your model that we can accelerate will be accelerated.
That is the reason why the armnnDelegate is our recommended way to accelerate TfLite models.

If you need help building the armnnDelegate, please take a look at our [build guide](delegate/BuildGuideNative.md).
An example how to setup TfLite to integrate the armnnDelegate can be found in this
guide: [Integrate the delegate into python](delegate/IntegrateDelegateIntoPython.md)
