Light-weighted & Multi-platform & Multi-type GPU support Darknet Framework :smile: :smile: :smile:

Darknet-Cross

Darknet-Cross is a lightweight deep learning framework based on Darknet and yolov2_light. It provides computation acceleration for multi-platform (Eg.Ubuntu/Android) and multiple types of GPUs (Eg. Nvidia GTX1070/ Adreno 630).

Darknet-Cross is part of my MSc diploma project in HKU CS.
