Re: [VOTE] Release Apache MXNet (incubating) version 1.6.0.rc1

[Chen, Xinyu1]

+1

Build from source on CentOS 7.6 with MKL/DNNL on and verified it works with 
DNNL backend for fp32/int8 inference.
Both functionality and performance are great 😊

Thanks

Dear MXNet community,

This is the vote to release Apache MXNet (incubating) version 1.6.0. Voting 
starts today and will close on Friday 1/10/2020 23:59 PST.

Link to source and signatures on apache dist server:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/mxnet/1.6.0.rc1/

The differences comparing to previous release candidate 1.6.0.rc0:
* Fix for RNN gradient calculation for MKLDNN ([v1.6.x] Cherry-pick MKL-DNN 
Rnn operator enhancements to v1.6.x (#17225))
* Fix for Windows CMake build (Backport #16980 #17031 #17018 #17019 to 1.6 
branch (#17213))
* CPU counterpart to contrib multihead attention operators (Interleaved MHA 
for CPU path (#17138) (#17211))
* Fix for #16060 (fix norm sparse fallback (#17149))
* Fix for inconsistent names in estimator API (fix parameter names in the 
estimator api (#17051) (#17162))
* Fixes for OpenMP (Backport 3rdparty/openmp fixes (#17193))
* Fix for pointwise fusion speed for large networks (which was the reason 
of -1 in the vote for rc0) as well as fixes for nondeterminism in sum of 
squares operator and trainer parameter order (Backport #17002, #17068 and 
#17114 to 1.6 branch (#17137))


Please remember to TEST first before voting accordingly:
+1 = approve
+0 = no opinion
-1 = disapprove (provide reason)

CMake issues

[Chen, Xinyu1]

Hi all,

Regarding to the following knowing issues listed below RC3:


  *   CMake build ignores the USE_MKLDNN flag and doesn't build with MKLDNN 
support even with -DUSE_MKLDNN=1. To workaround the issue please see: 
#10801.
I think this problem has already been fixed in 
#10629 and we can use 
CMake to build MXNet with MKLDNN support on WIN32 platform now.
