How To Install libmkldnn-dev on Debian 10
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install libmkldnn-dev on Debian 10.
What is libmkldnn-dev
libmkldnn-dev is:
Intel(R) Math Kernel Library for Deep Neural Networks (Intel(R) MKL-DNN) is an open source performance library for deep learning applications. The library accelerates deep learning applications and framework on Intel(R) architecture. Intel(R) MKL-DNN contains vectorized and threaded building blocks which you can use to implement deep neural networks (DNN) with C and C++ interfaces.
DNN functionality optimized for Intel architecture is also included in Intel(R) Math Kernel Library (Intel(R) MKL). API in this implementation is not compatible with Intel MKL-DNN and does not include certain new and experimental features.
One can choose to build Intel MKL-DNN without binary dependency. The resulting version will be fully functional, however performance of certain convolution shapes and sizes and inner product relying on SGEMM function may be suboptimal.
This package contains the header files, and symbol links to the shared object.
