+1 Great idea. Adding a name to the contributor list is a good idea. Also, I've found that thanking the person for the review on the PR is another way to express gratitude for their time and effort. On Fri, Oct 19, 2018 at 2:51 PM Tianqi Chen wrote: > Dear MXNet Community: > > There is a great

Python API docs issues

I did pip install mxnet-mkl==1.3.1b20181018 on an AMD Ryzen 1950X and unit tests are passing. Is this build using AVX512? in /proc/cpuinfo I see only "avx" flag. There's no "avx2" like on recent intel cpus. Pedro. On Fri, Oct 19, 2018 at 5:12 PM Hagay Lupesko wrote: > Awesome collaborative

Awesome collaborative effort across many contributors and companies! The boost is impressive and for MXNet users to get this boost "out of the box" is a great benefit and makes MXNet an even better choice. Alex - can you clarify whether there are any down sides with regards to noon AVX-512
