So a more gradual path forward is to could be drop-in TVM to support cases that it optimizes well(ARM, AMDGPU, accelerators) while keeping the old infrastru

After some reading and learning of MXNet, I tentatively made the conclusion that the migration of MXNet to TVM, if it exists, has yet finished. Currently, mshadow, on which most of current operator code is still based, seems to carry out the most functionality that TVM can carry ultimately. Will an
