This release contains a number of bug fixes and improvements to performance in the stripe based backends.
It includes full Stripe backends for GPU & CPU for all major targets. Stripe can be used by setting PLAIDML_USE_STRIPE=1 and by ensuring that you pick experimental configs. Stripe backends are only on by default for Intel integrated graphics, as that is the platform with the most advanced Stripe backend.
This release also includes a very high performance experimental CPU backend that achieves nearly state-of-the-art results. It can be activated by setting PLAIDML_STRIPE_JIT=1 PLAIDML_USE_STRIPE=1 and by picking the llvm_cpu device.
We're hoping to get 1.0.0 out the door fast and provide everyone an easy stepping stone into the MLIR world.
