Announcing Apache MXNet 1.2.0 – Apache MXNet – Medium

Today the Apache MXNet community is announcing the 1.2.0 release of the Apache MXNet deep learning framework -- faster, easier to use: ONNX, MKL-DNN support, mixed precision training and many more features! Check the full release note here. MKL-DNN integration: MXNet now integrates with Intel MKL-DNN to accelerate neural network operators: Convolution, Deconvolution, FullyConnected, Pooling, Batch Normalization, Activation, LRN, Softmax, as well as some common operators like sum and concat. This integration allows NDArray to contain data with MKL-DNN layouts and reduces data layout conversion overhead to get the maximal performance from MKL-DNN. More details are available in this blog post.
