  • Performance optimizations discussed above

  • Added support for loading data in parallel with multiple processes to gluon.data.DataLoader. The number of workers can be set with num_worker. Does not support windows yet.

  • Added Block.cast to support networks with different data types, e.g. float16.

  • Added Lambda block for wrapping a user defined function as a block.

  • Generalized `gluon.data.ArrayDataset` to support arbitrary number of arrays.

New Features - ARM / Raspberry Pi support [Experimental]

New Features - NVIDIA Jetson support [Experimental]

  • MXNet now compiles and runs on NVIDIA Jetson TX2 boards with GPU acceleration.

  • You can install the python MXNet package on a Jetson board by running - `$ pip install mxnet-jetson-tx2`

New Features - Sparse Tensor Support [General Availability]

  • Added more sparse operators: `contrib.SparseEmbedding`, `sparse.sum` and `sparse.mean`

  • Added `asscipy()` for easier conversion to scipy

  • Added `check_format()` for sparse ndarrays to check if the array format is valid
