Hi everyone, happy Friday, I've mocked up a couple of modifications for the highlights on the home page. The goal is to expose more news, more tutorials, and other interesting things people have been working on. If you've contributed something interesting and want to highlight it, you should be

+1 Let's move to CMake. It has much better support, and it's not worth maintaining two build systems. If we really want we could maintain a make file which manages the installation of cmake and calls cmake internally! It seems easy to install cmake. There is a shell script with binary for all

It is always a good thing to consider the cost with the benefit. I'll do my best to explain what I see the tradeoffs to be. First, I wanted to clarify that it took significant development effort to get the Clojure package and the interop working properly despite my simple looking design on the

In light of this, maybe it is time to deprecate amalgamation? GIven there is already support for Pi, and we could use TVM to compile to javascript with WebGL Tianqi On Fri, Jun 1, 2018 at 3:24 PM, Rahul Huilgol wrote: > +1 > > Let's move to CMake. It has much better support, and it's not worth

Thanks Aaron. I like Wireframe2. One addition I can think of is to show in a category Blogs/CaseStudy all new blogs published in Apache MXNet medium handle and other trusted sources. On Fri, Jun 1, 2018, 3:19 PM Thomas DELTEIL wrote: > Nice work, I like wireframe 2 the best, it gives structure

A proposal for unified integration with external acceleration libraries

2018-06-01 Thread Zheng, Da
Hello all, We would like to propose a new mechanism that unifies the integration with most of the external acceleration libraries, including TVM, MKLDNN, TensorRT and more. The main idea is to integrate with the external libraries in the level of subgraphs instead of operators. There are a few

What are peoples' thought on requiring cmake when building from source? Currently we have to maintain two independent build files (CMakeLists and Makefile) which makes it more difficult to develop (each are 600+ lines). Also, our current build system (in Makefile) requires that 3rdparty

Have checked the issue and the confluence page, but still curious. Clojure and Scala are both JVM based languages. They, as well as many JVM based languages, can share their class and method at a certain level. Why should the community maintain two APIs for two languages with can share their

+1 to using cmake and deprecating Makefile. I was able to find a previous discussion on this: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/8702 The concerns raised were 1. Building on devices like raspberry pi where cmake is non existent or old. 2. Adding an additional dependency. As

Clojure Package

Hi all, I've been working on a Clojure package for MXNet. Since Clojure is a JVM language, the package leverages the great work of the existing Scala package. I would appreciate any feedback and testing. Here is the original issue: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/8971

+1 Thanks for bringing this up. Maintaining two build systems is a pain. If we decide to make cmake default, please make sure all installation documentations are updated correspondingly. They're currently all using "make" if installed from source. Best, Haibin On Fri, Jun 1, 2018 at 3:06 PM,

building for rpi doesn't mean you should build on a rpi... that takes forever. 2018-06-01 23:06 GMT+01:00 Anirudh : > +1 to using cmake and deprecating Makefile. I was able to find a previous > discussion on this: > https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/8702 > > The concerns raised
