2023-06-20Deprecate legacy libarm_compute_coreJakub Sujak
This library is an artifact of Compute Library's legacy library architecture and no longer serves any purpose. Users must no longer link their applications to this library and instead link only to the main `libarm_compute` library to maintain full functionality.

2023-05-03[scons multi_isa] extend multi_isa build to support armv8-a marchSunita Nadampalli
This change adds support for multi isa build with armv8-a as the base micro architecture. To enable this, use 'arch=armv8a' and 'multi_isa=1' build flags during scons build. This build option doesn't include fp16 vector arithmetic. To include fp16 vector arithmetic, use 'arch=armv8.2-a' and 'multi_isa=1' build option.

2021-06-24Move core and runtime files to a single libraryMichalis Spyrou
Now core and runtime files are build in the same library, libarm_compute.so and libarm_compute-static.a. Create a dummy core library for not breaking backwards compatibility. Update documentation on fat binaries and new high priority library. Fixed issue on scons when using the install_dir feature.

2021-06-11Fix errata in documentationJakub Sujak
This patch addresses the following errata found in the project documentation: * Common typos. * Missing use of trademarks. * Incomplete operator descriptions. * Examples of code that have since been removed from the library. * Plus clarification over the usage of `All` category for data types and layouts. In addition, the Operator list was not generated properly due to: * Non-matching cases in the filenames (i.e. `Elementwise` and `ElementWise`). For consistency, all usages of the latter have been renamed to the former. * Extra data layout tables in the headers for the `NESlice` and `NEStridedSlice` functions (note: not present in CL counterpart) meant documentation for those functions was generated twice.
