> Apache MXNet
>
> MXNet is an open-source deep learning framework that allows you to define,
> train, and deploy deep neural networks on a wide array of devices, from
> cloud infrastructure to mobile devices. It is highly scalable, allowing for
> fast model training, and supports a flexible programming model and multiple
> languages. MXNet allows you to mix symbolic and imperative programming
> flavors to maximize both efficiency and productivity. MXNet is built on a
> dynamic dependency scheduler that automatically parallelizes both symbolic
> and imperative operations on the fly. A graph optimization layer on top of
> that makes symbolic execution fast and memory efficient. The MXNet library
> is portable and lightweight, and it scales to multiple GPUs and multiple
> machines.
>
> *   A list of the three most important issues to address in the move
> towards graduation.
>
> 1.  Migrate code(GitHub) and website to Apache.
> 2.  Grow the community:
> 2.1 Improving documentation including APIs & Tutorials.
> 2.2 Improving user-experience, for example improved error messages.
> 3   Establish a dependable, Apache-way consistent release process.
> 3.1 Features: New operators requested by user community.
>               Accelerate performance on CPUs and GPUs.
>
> *   Any issues that the Incubator PMC or ASF Board might wish/need to be

>
> Code and website have taken time to get moving on. The plan is to discuss
> these with Apache Infra at ApacheCon and then get the code migrated in May.
>
> *   How has the community developed since the last report.
>
> 1. The community was engaged for contributions to API documentation and
> tutorials.
> 2. Slack channels have been created for the community to contribute
> discussions to (though they need to move to the ASF Slack channel that
> was recently created).
> 3. In the last month, excluding merges, 51 authors have pushed 165 commits
> to master and 180 commits to all branches. On master, 502 files have
> changed and there have been 26,246 additions and 12,188 deletions. Count of

> Requests = 161, Count of Proposed Pull Requests = 27.

> *   How has the project developed since the last report.
>
> On GitHub:
>
> 1. The API Documentation has improved.
> 2. More features (e.g. operators) requested by the user community has been

> 3. Hardware acceleration like cuDDN6 integration and MKL ML package
> integration was completed.
> 4. A new Perl language binding for MXNet was added.
> 5. Apache MxNet talk at Apache BigData North America on May 18, 2017
