Arm Compute Library

Arm

Arm Compute Library is a collection of low-level machine learning and computer vision functions optimized for Arm Cortex-A and Neoverse CPUs and Mali GPUs, using NEON and OpenCL. Frameworks and runtimes link it as their Arm kernel backend. Arm develops and releases it with prebuilt binaries alongside the source.

MIT license body confirmed. The repository is public and unarchived and builds the whole product, and the README describes no paid tier, enterprise edition or license-gated build beside it, so source is public and the core ungated. GitHub reports no license because the repository follows the REUSE convention rather than carrying a root LICENSE file: REUSE.toml declares MIT throughout, LICENSES/MIT.txt holds the body, and Apache-2.0 and BSD-3-Clause texts sit beside it for vendored third-party code. All three are OSI, so the tier does not turn on which covers a given file.

Adoption

2 low confidence
2.0

3,181 GitHub stars, which lands in the 1K-10K stars band of the stars scale, level 2. Distributed as source and prebuilt binaries rather than through a package registry, so no download figure exists and the stars scale applies with its cap of 3.

Capability

3 medium confidence
3.0

Banded on the category feature matrix as performance-critical kernel and operator library. Placed two bands below the apache-tvm anchor, on a matrix that bands on how much of the model-to-hardware transformation pipeline a product performs, over how many inputs and targets.
