BigDL v0.9.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2019-07-22 // almost 5 years ago

  • Highlights

    ✨ Continue VNNI acceleration support, we add optimization for more CNN models including object detection models, enhance model scales generation support for VNNI.

    ➕ Add attention based model support, we add Transformer implementation for both lanuage model and translation model.

    🐎 RNN optimization, We support LSTM integration with MKL-DNN which acheives ~3x performance speedup.
