Re: Release plan - MXNET 1.3

Hi, Thank you everyone for helping to clear release blockers. CI tests were failing so we delayed RC by some time. But now the tests are passing and we are ready to cut the release branch. I have drafted release notes here:

Re: Release plan - MXNET 1.3

Hi Roshani - Can you please make sure that this fix (which is already merged to master) is also merged to the stable branch for 1.3.0: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/11493 - Thanks, Sina On 8/16/18, 10:51 AM, "Roshani Nagmote" wrote: Hi all, Release status:

Hi all, Release status: Currently, for release 1.3.0 there are a couple of issues open which needs to be resolved before cutting RC. The current date we are looking at for cutting RC0 is 08/17(Friday). Open issues which need to be looked at before cutting RC: 1. Topk regression issue

Re: Release plan - MXNET 1.3

Talked to the person who ran resnet50 benchmarks offline. Build flag was not properly set so there was a difference in performance numbers observed. There is no issue caught and he was able to get the same results as mentioned here https://mxnet.incubator.apache.org/faq/perf.html

Re: Release plan - MXNET 1.3

Hi Dom, I verified resnet50 run on MXNet master branch. Checked on single gpu machine. Numbers match. I didn't see any performance degradation. https://mxnet.incubator.apache.org/faq/perf.html#scoring-results Can you please give me more details on the instance type and script you ran exactly so

Re: Release plan - MXNET 1.3

Thanks for reporting this issue Dom. 08/10 (Frida)y was the major feature freeze date. We won't be accepting any new features now for MXNet 1.3 release. RC0 will be cut on 08/17(Friday). Will be verifying the performance degradation issue mentioned. Thanks, Roshani On Mon, Aug 13, 2018 at 8:45

Re: Release plan - MXNET 1.3

Hi all, We tested resnet50 on MXNet built from master branch on Friday and were seeing degraded performance on GPU - about 50% slower compared to these values here https://mxnet.incubator.apache.org/faq/perf.html. FWIW this slowdown was seen for both MXNet as well as the TRT integrated MXNet.

Re: Release plan - MXNET 1.3

Hey Roshani, Has a RC branch already been cut? If so, a quick heads up that I think this commit should probably get into RC0 for 1.3. https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/commit/ee8755a2531b322fec29c9c3d2aa3b8738da41f3 It won't cause issues for users, but from a versioning compatibility

Re: Release plan - MXNET 1.3

Thanks Kellen and everyone else for working to get TensorRT PR merged! @Sina, I will be keeping track of that issue and fixes to get in the release. We are starting code freeze for 1.3 release today. A release candidate will be cut on 08/17. Feel free to add any other comments/suggestions.

Re: Release plan - MXNET 1.3

All merged and ready to go from my side Roshani (the TensorRT PR). I agree with Sina that issue 12116 looks it's a blocker. I'll try and reproduce it locally to get another datapoint. On Fri, Aug 10, 2018 at 3:15 AM Afrooze, Sina wrote: > Hi Roshani - I think this regression issue is a

Thanks for bringing this up Roshani. To give everyone some background, I'm working under the assumption that this is a blocking PR. I'm updating the PR to reflect the requests from Steffen/Eric. I'm also trying to make a few small refactors that should make it impossible to affect non-TRT

Hi all, Right now, we are delaying MXNet 1.3 release for pending TensorRT PR ( https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/11325 ). I wanted to ask everyone for their opinions if we should delay the release to get tensorRT integration in or we should go ahead with the release and include

Re: Release plan - MXNET 1.3

Some thoughts: why not keep it out of 1.3, and merge it into master so it can go out with 1.4 instead? Pros: - Reduce quality risks for 1.3 - More time to test and get feedback before release - Avoid further delays in 1.3 release (lots of good stuff there already for users) Cons: - People will

Hello Roshani, frequent releases are good and I'm supportive for this in general in order to provide our users with the latest features and improvements. But at the moment, I'm slightly concerned about the test coverage due to [1]. I want us to be conscious about cutting a release even though not
