Any plan to release prebuilt CMSIS-NN

[quinnabrvau]

Are there any plans to include CMSIS-NN libraries in the SDK?

If so when? 

If not, what build flags should I use to get the fastest runtime?

Thanks,

Quinn

Hey Quinn,

We do not have any plans to release prebuilt CMSIS-NN libraries. 

If not, what build flags should I use to get the fastest runtime?

I don't think any compiler can optimize the CMSIS libraries more than they already are as they are "handcrafted" by ARM engineers. This is at least true for DSP and such. I think you should direct the last question to ARM themselves as we do not have any experience with the NN library. 

Cheers,

Håkon.

With limited ressources on NRF51/NRF52 Cortex-M µC core, classic statistics gets better results and lower computational overhead in 99.9% of cases. Using neural networks make more sense on something with much more "beef" like Cortex-A.

I would normally agree that NN's take up a lot of resources, but I've got a single use case that is small and effective and only needs to run a couple times a second.

Thank you

But that also means you don't need to care too much about optimizing the code.
