To further its goal of passing trained frameworks to embedded inference engines, the Khronos Group adds to its existing converters with two new bidirectional converters. Now available on the NNEF GitHub, these new tools enable easy conversion of trained models, including quantized models, between TensorFlow or Caffe2 formats and NNEF format.
The Khronos Group last week announced the launch of a project with Au-zone of Calgary, Canada to produce two conversion tools that will allow developers to import NNEF files into TensorFlow and Caffe2 as well as export NNEF files from those training frameworks. In line with Khronos’ recent policy, the tools will be made available in the second half of 2018 as open source projects on Github where contributions from the open source community will be welcomed. These tools will join the converters for Caffe and Tensorflow (which has two formats to consider) and the NNEF parser that are all already available.
