+1 (binding)
My testing involved taking the 1.8.0.rc1 codebase and adding the files needed
to build and run against my internal CI system. The value here is not in the
number of build configurations per se, but in the number of different GPU
architectures tested. All the gpu unittests under
./tests/python/{gpu,train,tensort} passed on machines with: A100, V100, TU102,
TU104, P100 and P40 GPUs. Also, all the cpu unittests under
./tests/python/unittest passed (on a machine with a V100).
The build was for ubuntu 18.04 with cuda 11.1 and cuDNN 8.0.4 using the cmake
command:
cmake -GNinja -S. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -Bbuild \
-DUSE_MKLDNN=OFF -DMXNET_CUDA_ARCH="6.0 6.1 7.0 7.5 8.0" \
-DUSE_CUDA=ON -DUSE_CUDNN=1 \
-DUSE_NCCL=ON \
-DUSE_DIST_KVSTORE=ON \
-DONNX_NAMESPACE=onnx \
-DUSE_NVTX=1 \
-DUSE_INTGEMM=OFF \
-DUSE_TENSORRT=1
The build includes my as-yet-unmerged PR
https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/19298, which corrects unittest
issues, not the framework's functioning. Because of the build, int gemm and
mkldnn functionality was not tested.
