Context-specific operator parameters

2019-06-03 Thread Dick Carter
MXNet has a number of context-specific operator parameters: 'cudnn_tune', 'cudnn_off' and 'workspace' are parameters that control the behavior of Convolution on gpu contexts with NVIDIA gpus. Even with these, there would be benefits to having additional parameters, e.g. to set Convolution alg

This thread is very timely, as it relates to issues I've been trying to solve with my coding of the last week. I think it simplest just to present the code and detailed PR description as the clearest form of my thinking. Happy to discuss further. Please see: https://github.com/apache/incubat
