This feature allows adding custom partitioners by dynamically loading custom C++ partitioners compiled in external libraries at runtime. + +Custom partitioners enable users to write custom model partitioning strategies without compiling against all of MXNet header files and dependencies. When a library containing custom partitioners is loaded dynamically, the components found in the library will be re-registered in MXNet so that users can use those natively just like other built-in components. + +## Getting Started + +### Have MXNet Ready + +First you should install MXNet either from compiling from source code or downloading a nightly build. It doesn’t matter if the build comes with CUDA or MKLDNN. The custom partitioning APIs do not interact with the execution of other native MXNet operators.
