| MKL-DNN | Patric Zhao, Da Zheng | MKL-DNN integration design | Discussion | #experimental in v1.2, upgrade to GA in v1.3 |
| Clojure package | Carin Meier | MXNet Clojure | Discussion | #11205 experimental clojure language binding |
| TensorRT Runtime Integration | Discussion | #11325 This feature introduces runtime integration of TensorRT into MxNet, in order to accelerate inference. | ||
| Proper support for Types | Sebastian (Wolfram) | Backend for general purpose numerical packages (support for multipe types, proper testing for all supported types). Derive test priorities from Mathematica internal suite or integrate Mathematica into CI? Feedback: Users are observing instability, incomplete behavior vs. quality delivered by numpy / Pytorch. Haibin: many tests are not well written, most test only cover fp32, don't have good guidelines for community, operator tutorial lacks guidance on test requirements, suggest to develop guidelines (results are deterministic, cover all supported types), need to set quality standards as community grows Sebastian: presentation how it is done in Mathematica based on experience and learnings | ||
| Fused RNN Operators for CPU | Patric Zhao, Tao Lv | Fused CPU RNN Design | Discussion | #10104 #11399 #10311 vRNN/LSTM/GRU PR has been merged |
| Fix Flaky Tests | zhasheng@apache.org | Github Flaky Tests | Discussion | |
| Control flow operators | Da Zheng, | Optimize dynamic neural networks | Discussion | This is the first step towards optimizing dynamic neural networks by adding symbolic and imperative control flow operators (foreach, while_loop, maybe ifelse). foreach and while_loop have been merged. ifelse has been submitted for review, but is unlikely merged in this release. |
