-Release repository: https://github.com/arm-software/ComputeLibrary
+# Compute Library ![](https://img.shields.io/badge/latest_release-21.08-green)
-Development repository: https://review.mlplatform.org/#/admin/projects/ml/ComputeLibrary
-Please report issues here: https://github.com/ARM-software/ComputeLibrary/issues
+The Compute Library is a collection of low-level machine learning functions optimized for Arm® Cortex®-A and Arm® Mali™ GPUs architectures.<br>
-**Make sure you are using the latest version of the library before opening an issue. Thanks**
+The library provides superior performance to other open source alternatives and immediate support for new Arm® technologies e.g. SVE2.
