MKL library dependency

[uu-praveeng]

Hi,

It appears that the latest release does not include the MKL libraries as a dependency .
We were using few APIs(vsAdd,vsMul) from the MKL library for elementwise addition and elementwise multiplication.
Could you let us know any APIs present in mkldnn to do the same ?
Are these APIs being merged into MKLDNN ?

Thank you,
Praveen.

Hi @uu-praveeng,

Starting with Intel MKL-DNN v1.0 the library no more depends on Intel MKL. All the required implementations (mostly integer and floating point gemm) were ported directly to Intel MKL-DNN. So that's why we will stop publishing Intel MKL-ML small libraries here.

If you use Intel MKL functionality you can download it from one of the channels (see this answer).

vsAdd, vsMul are not in Intel MKL-DNN. We plan to add some generic tensor arithmetic primitives, and +/* would be there (which might be an overkill, though, you simply want to add/multiply two vectors unrelated to Intel MKL-DNN memory objects). But we don't have any timeline for that yet.
