Re: [Lazy consensus] Removal of all repository.apache.org mxnet artifacts (and their mirrored maven central counterparts)

2020-05-29 Thread Zach Kimberg
If we replace the official CPU build, won't there still be new dependencies so it is not even guaranteed to work depending on whether the user has the dependencies (e.g. libgfortran) installed? I think there is also a performance degradation if we remove mkl. But, we could still have a

Re: [apache/incubator-mxnet] [RFC] MXNet 2.0 JVM Language development (#17783)

2020-03-09 Thread Zach Kimberg
It is going to be closer to a complete rewrite. On the other hand, making a new Scala API would be imperative instead of symbolic and I think there are going to be a lot of operator changes to better match numpy in 2.0. I don't think the migration costs for a Scala 2.0 would be that much less

[DISCUSS] Assigning Issues

2019-09-12 Thread Zach Kimberg
We had a discussion a while back about trying to improve the way we handle issues by assigning them to users who are working on them. However, the discussion ended because issues could only be assigned to those with write access (committers). I just came across a new Github feature where issues

Re: [Proposal] New operator graph for MXNet

2019-05-15 Thread Zach Kimberg
I would like to raise another option to get back on the topic of changing the Operator graph structure. On the page discussing Relay IR [1], it discusses mainly the difference between a data flow graph like we use now and A-normal [2] which is used in some functional compilers. Is there a reason

Python2 End of Life

2019-05-13 Thread Zach Kimberg
Right now, the official date for ending support for Python 2.7 (and all of python2) is set to January 1 [1]. As part of it, a number of projects have pledged to drop support for Python2 in or before 2020 including Tensorflow, requests, pandas, ipython, numpy, pillow, and Cython [2]. I believe we

Include R-package

2019-04-01 Thread Zach Kimberg
As part of the current MXNet release process, the R-package is removed from the source release [1]. If we are advertising that MXNet has an R package as an Apache project, it really should be part of the official Apache release process. I know there were a few missing license headers within the

[ANNOUNCE] Jenkins Nightly Release Pipeline with MXNet Scala

Hi, A little over a month ago, we announced the nightly build of the Scala package on Nexus [1]. It featured the same statically linked binary build logic used by the Python pip to make the adoption as easy for our JVM users as for our python users. However, that release occurred on a private

There should not be a problem including MKLML since the above (BSD 3-clause) is Category A under apache ( https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#what-can-we-include-in-an-asf-project-category-a ). However, what I noticed from some other apache projects is they created additional LICENSE files

Build from Source Instruction Changes

2018-11-28 Thread Zach Kimberg
I would like to raise a PR for discussion here. In the mxnet installation docs, we currently have three inconsistent ways of compiling the mxnet backend: 1. Use make by passing in the configuration directly make USE_BLAS=openblas 2. Use make with config.mk echo "USE_BLAS=openblas" >>
