Re: assimilation of mshadow into the MXNet codebase

2019-04-05 Thread Tianqi Chen
Technically, mshadow is sufficient for MXNet. Adopting other libraries ( eigen or xtensor) will unnecessarily increase the codebase complexity without any additional gains. Given that mshadow is only used by mxnet. I do support donating it into mxnet codebase. To respect the original mshadow commu

Hi Pedro, mshadow is mostly used for tensor arithmetic. There have been discussions about including it within mxnet. I think it is a good idea. As a more long term solution using libraries like eigen to perform linear algebra operations was also suggested by anirudh2290@. I think xtensor( https:/

2019-04-05 Thread Pedro Larroy
Hi Some developers have noticed that working in mshadow is cumbersome as it's a 3rdparty subrepo. Since mshadow is a bunch of headers which don't have much of independent tests / library functionality, me and other developers believe that it would be good to assimilate this code in the repository

I agree with Tianqi and Marco. Probably what should happen is to let cmake be the default in some minor release, and completely deprecate makefiles in 2.0. On Fri, Apr 5, 2019 at 10:23 AM Marco de Abreu wrote: > I think this is rather about the depreciation of the make based build > system. We c

I think this is rather about the depreciation of the make based build system. We currently have make and cmake in parallel but with diverging feature support. -Marco Tianqi Chen schrieb am Fr., 5. Apr. 2019, 11:42: > I am in favor of using CMake. And I personally think CMake is not something >

I am in favor of using CMake. And I personally think CMake is not something that has to be introduced in a 2.0. It can simply be part of a minor release. Tianqi On Thu, Apr 4, 2019 at 10:31 AM Kellen Sunderland wrote: > Hello MXNet devs, > > I'd like to start a thread discussing what our build
