Experimental features

To test aggressive performance optimizations that might affect accuracy without an impact to regular users oneDNN provides experimental features.

Build-time Controls

To enable experimental features the library should be built with a CMake option ONEDNN_EXPERIMENTAL=ON. Each experimental feature has to be individually selected using environment variables.

Environment variable

Desc

ONEDNN_EXPERIMENTAL_BNORM_STATS_ONE_PASS

Calculate mean and variance in batch normalization(BN) in single pass ( RFC )

Warning

  • Enabling experimental features does not guarantee that the library will utilize them

  • Enabling experimental features might change accuracy of oneDNN primitives
