Deep Learning INT8 Quantization

Calibrate, validate, and deploy quantized pretrained series deep learning networks

Increase throughput, reduce resource utilization, and deploy larger networks onto smaller target boards by quantizing your deep learning networks.

After calibrating your pretrained series network by collecting instrumentation data, quantize your series network and validate the accuracy of your quantized network. Once the quantized network has been validated, generate code for and deploy the quantized network.
