Re: [Discussion] MXNet 1.5.1 release

2019-08-27 Thread Pedro Larroy
Ok. I was just asking if we want this fix in 1.5.1 since it addresses crashes using multiprocessing. The problem with cherry picking is that the patch contains the dynamic load change which shouldn't impact anything else but is not supposed to go in a release branch. On Tue, Aug 27, 2019 at 1:19 P

Dear PPMC members, I'd like to start a discussion on inviting Tao Lv as a PPMC member. He has been a full committer of our project since Nov. 2018, and has remained very active in not only maintaining MKLDNN backend, but many other areas. Over time he has developed good knowledge of MXNet and ha

Good summary. At the start the discussion thread my ask is to announce the intention of py2 deprecation in the next release, and then actually deprecate py2 in the next major release. Thus, the appropriate timing for dropping py2 support in CI should be the start of the next major release. The p

Just for the sake of completeness, another factor is the python platform tag manylinux2010 compliance [1]. Since it required GLIBC2.12 and GCC4.3, unfortunately even the existing minimum version standard wouldn't allow us to be compliant. [1] https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0571/ On 2019/0

We could think about moving to a newer version and updating the standard. I'm using gcc 4.9 with my work builds, but more modern compilers everywhere else (and is be willing to update the work compiler). One of the cons is that it makes our code less portable. When we update the minimum requir

Update GCC 4.8 dependency?

2019-08-27 Thread Leonard Lausen
Hi, "Currently, we only support gcc-4.8 build." [1] Do we ever want to change this? gcc-4.8 is now available since more than 6 years and a lot has happened during that time. Also platforms have upgraded their default compiler versions, and gcc-7 is now commonly available (eg. Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Am
