CNN-blocking

Tool for optimize CNN blocking

usage: run_optimizer.py [-h] [-s SCHEDULE] [-v] {basic,mem_explore, dataflow_explore} arch network

positional arguments:

{basic,mem_explore, dataflow_explore} optimizer type

arch architecture specification

network network specification

optional arguments:

-h, --help show this help message and exit

-s SCHEDULE, --schedule SCHEDULE restriction of the schedule space this is optional but restricting the schedule space will accelerate the scipt significantly

-v, --verbose vebosity

Examples
