Re: [Announce] Runtime feature detection

[Iblis Lin]

well, in case of MXNet, it's mixed with MD and RST.
The docs under dir `docs/` is written in MD.
(MD is supported via sphinx plugin.)

For the function docstring in Python, it's written in RST.
The docstring will be rendered via a sphinx feature -- "autodoc".
You can check this as an example:

I'm still refining the feature given some late feedback and that it
will be public API. I guess with the help of Aaron we will get some
nice documentation in, as it's not showing up in the master python API
docs. I thought it would be taken automatically from the Python doc.

Is this a correct source for the documentation format that we are
using? I know we use sphynx but doesn't look like RST to me:

Re: [VOTE] Release Apache MXNet (incubating) version 1.4.0.rc1

[Yuxi Hu]

My vote is -1 due to an issue that will impact majority of MXNet users. I
like to see the fixing PR
 cherry picked to
this release to fix the issue.

Problem: Training resnet50_v1 using MXNet Symbolic API and kvstore=device
on a single p3.16xlarge instance hit 10~20% drop in training throughput. It
also applies to Gluon API and other kvstore settings. Detailed performance
numbers can be found in the fixing PR
.
Impact: MXNet users that conduct distributed training on GPUs using
ImageRecordIter to load data will experience this regression.
Solution and Status: A fixing PR
 is created and under
review on master.

Thanks,
Yuxi

[CANCELLED][VOTE] Release Apache MXNet (incubating) version 1.4.0.rc1

[Steffen Rochel]

Dear MXNet community - cancelling the vote to address the performance
degradation. Please do not merge any other changes into 1.4.x branch to
keep the branch stable to get the 1.4.0 release shipped eventually.

Regards,
Steffen
