Only axis 0 is supported. - The support for quantized data types has been removed from @ref CLLogSoftmaxLayer due to implementation complexity. + - Removed padding requirement for the input (e.g. LHS of GEMM) and output in @ref CLGEMMMatrixMultiplyNativeKernel, @ref CLGEMMMatrixMultiplyReshapedKernel, @ref CLGEMMMatrixMultiplyReshapedOnlyRHSKernel and @ref CLIm2ColKernel (NHWC only) + - This change allows to use @ref CLGEMMConvolutionLayer without extra padding for the input and output. + - Only the weights/bias of @ref CLGEMMConvolutionLayer could require padding for the computation. + - Only on Arm Mali Midgard GPUs, @ref CLGEMMConvolutionLayer could require padding since @ref CLGEMMMatrixMultiplyKernel is called and currently requires padding. + - Added support for exporting the OpenCL buffer object to the OpenCL image object in @ref CLGEMMMatrixMultiplyReshapedKernel and @ref CLGEMMMatrixMultiplyReshapedOnlyRHSKernel. + - This support allows to export the OpenCL buffer used for the reshaped RHS matrix to the OpenCL image object. + - The padding requirement for the OpenCL image object is considered into the @ref CLGEMMReshapeRHSMatrixKernel. + - The reshaped RHS matrix stores the weights when GEMM is used to accelerate @ref CLGEMMConvolutionLayer. v20.05 Public major release - Various bug fixes. -- cgit v1.2.1
