This pull request upgrades the Arm xGEMM tests with new library bindings to the Arm Performance Library, Arm Compute Library and OpenBLAS library to test and compare with the existing GemmLowp library. It also upgrades how the tests are instantiated with new command line arguments to specify individual matrices, or the built in tests, and # of threads.

Output from GEMM and Convolution tests now output in a machine readable CSV format instead of just human readable text.

These changes are particularly useful for inserting Deepbench into automated testing infrastructures to get finer control and allow automatic parsing of test results.

Update and modernize Arm DeepBench code for easier testing with
automated infrastructure.  Additionally, convolution and gemmlowp
tests do not use OMP, so added in thread-count specification to the
command line parameters to allow controller how many threads are
spawned.

Is there anybody willing to review these patches?

Adds in support for Arm Compute Library to be tested for xGEMM
operations in addition to convolution.  Also cleans up the Arm
Makefile, cblas test and fixes up the conv_problems for Arm to
not hit a segmentation fault.

Looking for a review. Any takers? Arm would like to get this included as we have other partners who use Deepbench for benchmarking their parts.

@geoffreyblake As there have only been only 2 commits to DeepBench in the past 6 months, I assume the DeepBench project is abandoned. Please consider using CK-NNTest based on a similar idea but using CK for portability, reproducibility and crowdsourcing. (We started CK-NNTest as part of our collaboration with the Arm ML group, and effectively used it to optimize deep learning operators in the Arm Compute Library.)

Thanks @psyhtest , I will take a look into that repository as a possible landing spot for this code.
