The custom operator doesn’t interact with the execution of other native MXNet operators. +Custom Operator support was recently merged (#15921, #17270) and is not available in a released version of MXNet yet. It will be part of the forthcoming 1.7 release, until then please install MXNet by compiling from source or downloading one of the nightly builds. For running the example below, it doesn’t matter if it is a CUDA, MKLDNN or Vanila build. The custom operator doesn’t interact with the execution of other native MXNet operators. Note that if you want to run GPU examples and write your custom operators running on GPU, you still need MXNet CUDA build. Review comment: ```suggestion Custom Operator support was merged (#15921, #17270) and is not available in versions of MXNet prior to v1.7.0. To access the feature now, please install MXNet by compiling from source using master or using the previously mentioned commits, downloading one of the nightly builds, or from a release of MXNet 1.7.0+. For running the following example, it doesn’t matter if it is a CUDA, MKLDNN or plain MXNet build; the custom operator doesn’t interact with the execution of other native MXNet operators. Note that if you want to run GPU examples and write your custom operators running on GPU, you still need an MXNet CUDA build. ``` Adjusted so you don't have to update it later. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
