Iblis, Thanks for taking the lead in doing this. Unfortunately, I can't help you with JIRA - but maybe someone else can. I can help you with the wiki. The Clojure package has done something similar here https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MXNET/Clojure+Release+Process. Once you are logg

[DISCUSS] Make MKLDNN as a default on Maven nightly build

2019-01-14 Thread Qing Lan
Hi all, I would like to raise a discussion on whether to make MKLDNN as a default in nightly build (1.5.0-SNAPSHOT) for MXNet Scala/Java binding. Currently Scala build with MKLDNN is supported since https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/13819 with CI. I do see the performance increase

Ibis, Confluence needs its own user name/password. Once you have let us know, one of us should be able to grant access. For JIRA, I am not an expert at it, I think it uses Apache Login, i'll find you and add appropriate permissions, I was able to create a board for Scala, the board also needs to b

Thanks for bringing this up. I think it would be less confusing for users if we keep it same across language bindings? What needs to be done to python, Java, Clojure, etc., ? If they are not getting this default, any reason? On Mon, Jan 14, 2019 at 10:56 AM Qing Lan wrote: > Hi all, > > I would

Hi, The current TensorRT implementation tweak simple_bind, you pass parameters through the shared_params of the function. The problems of the current implementation: - You have to use the symbol API (currently no solution for module API) - You have to set an environment variable + use the spec

+1 if the licensing aspect is ok. Since MKLDNN (open source apache 2 license) depends on MKLML (binary only) which carries its own license (see below for the full text), we need to check if it's ok to include this license in our binary distribution. Full text of the MKLML license: Copyright (c) 20

There should not be a problem including MKLML since the above (BSD 3-clause) is Category A under apache ( https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#what-can-we-include-in-an-asf-project-category-a ). However, what I noticed from some other apache projects is they created additional LICENSE files

Hi Lanking, I'm not familiar with Maven nightly build. But does it look like what we have for python - different packages with different building flags, or just has one package with MKL-DNN enabled? Currently as showed in https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/8671, for python we have

Hi Anand, Thanks for sharing the work and for offering to improve mxnet and ps-lite. If you don't need to test the integration, you can - fork dmlc/ps-lite - make the changes - send a pull request back to the repo, just as you would to mxnet If you need to test the integration in mxnet first, yo
