The ElcoreNN API consists of the following parts:

* ``elcorenn/elcorenn.h``: ElcoreNN CPU library API.

ElcoreNN CPU library API
========================
``elcorenn/elcorenn.h`` defines the ElcoreNN CPU library API functions.

.. doxygenfunction:: InitBackend

.. doxygenfunction:: ReleaseDevice

.. doxygentypedef:: ENNModelId

``ENNModelId`` is a model descriptor.
That descriptor refers to the model loaded into **DSP** (Elcore50) memory.
Use LoadModel function to easily load model into DSP memory.

.. doxygenfunction:: LoadModel

.. doxygenfunction:: InvokeModel

The function takes model input as a float array and puts network's result into a float array.

.. note:: ElcoreNN uses the data parallelization paradigm.
          Input data distributes between DSP cores by batch dimension.

.. doxygenfunction:: SaveModelStatisticToCSV

During inference, ElcoreNN collects number of cores cycles instructions for each layer.
This can be useful for performance analysis.
