Hello Haibin,
we have the following in the release notes under performance improvements:
"Integrated MKLDNN for CPU training and inference acceleration"
My impression is that this is what PR 8302 is about. I browsed through the code
and understand and agree what this PR is trying to achieve. But must admit
that I would feel uncomfortable to wrap this up into a release schedule that
early. This PR touches 115 files in a sometimes intrusive way and is not yet
finally tested nor integrated into the master branch. Wrapping such a PR in
very lately will put a big risk on the release that we should only take when
absolutely unavoidable.I personally would either remove this from the release
or otherwise move the release date.
Let me know if I misunderstood anything.
Regards
Asmus
