Hi MXNET owner, Recently, we (Intel engineers) have implemented the fused RNN operations (LSTM/GRU/vRNN) for the CPU, including bidirectional, multiple layers, inference/training. The LSTM and GRU PR was merged and vRNN code will be PR soon.
The new APIs make the gluon and symbolic models much faster :) Thus, I have added a new row in the 1.3 proposal table and hope the end user can leverage the new feature easily. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MXNET/Project+Proposals+for+next+MXNet+Release Feel free to let me know for any feedbacks and suggestions. BR, Thanks, --Patric
