Hello everyone, I was wondering if there was any particular reason why we are building and testing mxnet with USE_LIBJPEG_TURBO=0. I noticed that we are shipping it with USE_LIBJPEG_TURBO=1 (eg. make/pip/pip_linux_cpu.mk). I ran into issues trying to compile mxnet with the libjpegturbo flag on

I do believe in the benefit of MXNet community, MXNet 1.4 is a important release with many useful features for our users: 1. Java Inference API, JVM memory management, Julia APIs 2. Multiple important directional experimental features - Subgraph API, control flow operators, Topology aware

Hi All, Can we move the VOTE forward since the RAT license should not be a problem that block the release. We can always add that one in our future releases (e.g 1.4.1 or 1.5.0). As you may aware, 1.4.0 release started very early this year and delayed a couple of times until now. From the

Thanks for the proposal, Felix. On one hand, I agree that richer workload from the ecosystem helps find issues in MXNet early. On the other hand, I'm concerned about tightly coupling the development of projects. Monitoring the upstream library and addressing problems for upgrading dependency

Update on the issue 1. and 4.: For 1., I fixed the notice year in master branch [1]. If we are to create a new rc, the fix should be cherry-picked. For 4., MKLDNN has found the issue [2] and posted the fix in their master branch. I'm requesting that the fix be backported for the minor version

Agree to track the 3rd party packages which make MXNet more prosperous :) Before building the CI, I suggest to create the related labels, like sockeye, gluonCV, gluonNLP, etc, in the GitHub and give the high priority for these issues/PR. So the issue/PR can be fixed quickly and these important

Can't speak for the CI team, but in general I think that it is good idea. On a separate note, I've been playing around with Sockeye recently and it's great! Awesome work and glad to see MXNet used for such cutting edge use cases. I'd love to see closer collaboration with the Sockeye team and

Third-party package tests for MXNet nightly builds

2019-02-11 Thread Felix Hieber
Hello dev@, I would like to ask around whether there is interest in the community to test nightly builds of MXNet with third-party packages that depend on MXNet and act as early adopters. The goal is to catch regressions in MXNet early, allowing time for bug fixes before a new release is cut.
