+# FINN

+Fast, Scalable Quantized Neural Network Inference on FPGAs

+## Description
+
+
+FINN is an experimental framework from Xilinx Research Labs to explore deep neural network inference on FPGAs. It specifically targets quantized neural networks, with emphasis on generating dataflow-style architectures customized for each network.
+For more information, please visit the [project page](https://xilinx.github.io/finn/).
+
+A new, more modular version of FINN is currently under development on GitHub, and we welcome contributions from the community!
+Stay tuned for more updates.
+
+## Old version
+
+We previously released an early-stage prototype of a toolflow that took in Caffe-HWGQ binarized network descriptions and produced . You can find it in the [v0.1](https://github.com/Xilinx/finn/tree/v0.1) branch in this repository.
+Please be aware that this version is deprecated and unsupported, and the master branch does not share history with that branch so it should be treated as a separate repository for all purposes.
