szha edited a comment on issue #13896: Cudnn dropout URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/13896#issuecomment-458445531 As of 7f76582 the speed-up still depends on the size of the input because of set descriptor overhead. Since it’s a stateful op, it’s possible to utilize gluon’s static alloc + static shape to avoid repeatedly setting dropout descriptor, but this solution is not general or ideal. I'm currently looking into adding a runtime resource manager for sharing the dropout state space to solve the overhead problem.
