softmax

[Daniel_H_]

Does MKL support the popular DNN operation called softmax?

I cannot find any suitable function.

Hi Daniel,

I am afraid MKL does not provide softmax, only ReLU for activation. Actually, MKL only provides few functions for NN, mainly probably for convolution. You may could refer to use MKL-DNN (mkldnn_softmax_forward_desc_init) which can be optimized with MKL VM & BLAS functions. Thanks.

Best regards,

Intel DAAL implements softmax:
