Added

• ChimeraDeployer, currently mainly a placeholder
• Allocate templates for Chimera
• ChimeraPlatform, using appropriate allocation templates and using the generic Parser + Binding for the Add node
• Adder CI test for Chimera
• Install flow for chimera-sdk via Makefile
• DeeployChimeraMath library
• Generic FP32 reduce mean bindings, parser, and template
• New alias list parameter for buffer objects
• New test, also included in the CI pipeline, for the reshape and skip connection situation
• 'shape' parameter handling similar to the 'indices' parameter in the generic reshape template
• Test the correcteness of the memory map generated by the tiler
• Add attribute to VariableBuffer to distinguish I/Os
• Add proper static memory allocation with finite lifetime for I/Os
• The memory allocation visualization now displays the allocation for each level used
• Tutorial section in the documentation
• Guide on using the debug print topology pass and code transformation
• VSCode configuration files for improved IDE support
• Multi-branch GitHub Pages deployment support
• Test for the DebugPrintTopologyPass.
• Test for PrintInputGeneration, PrintOutputGeneration, MemoryAwarePrintInputGeneration, MemoryAwarePrintOutputGeneration
• check for CMAKE variable and fallback to searching for cmake
• tensor name mangling
• identity operation removal
• _unpack_const helper function to NodeParser to allow for node attributes that are direct Constant tensors or direct numpy values
• load_file_to_local in dory_mem as a way to load values directly to a local memory (not ram). needed for copying values from flash to wmem needed for Neureka v2
• Add the documentation.yml workflow to deploy doc pages.
• Improved README with more detailed Getting Started section, a section listing related publications, and a list of supported platforms.
