ptrendx opened a new pull request #15657: Eliminate common expressions
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/15657
 
 
   ## Description ##
   This PR introduces a graph pass that eliminates redundant common expressions 
in the graph. 
   
   For example, let's look at the graph created from a following Python code:
   ```
   a = mx.sym.Variable()
   out = (a + 5) * (a + 5)
   ```
   This graph will compute `a+5` twice, which is wasteful. After the pass 
introduced in this PR, the actual executed graph will be equivalent to
   ```
   a = mx.sym.Variable()
   b = a + 5
   out = b * b
   ```
   which computes the `a+5` only once.
