Head over to the new end-to-end notebook to try out the end-to-end flow for convolutions and build the demonstrator for a simple binarized CNN on CIFAR-10. -| | -| :---:| -| *HLS synthesis speedup by parallelization.

Thanks to a contribution by @HenniOVP we now support multi-process parallelization several FINN transformations. You can read more about those here. -| | -| :---:| -| *Const and decoupled mem_modes for MVAUs.* | + -Decoupled memory mode for MVAUs.
