Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: “We will store the computation time in five dictionaries, one for each compute profile (timings_np, timings_mx_cpu, and timings_mx_gpu).”

A block of code is set as follows:

import mxnet
mxnet.__version__
features = mxnet.runtime.Features()
print(features)
print(features.is_enabled('CUDA'))
print(features.is_enabled('CUDNN'))
print(features.is_enabled('MKLDNN'))

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

!python3 -m pip install gluoncv gluonnlp
!python3 -m pip install gluoncv gluonnlp

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “For this step, we will use the pyplot module from a library called Matplotlib, which will allow us to create charts easily.”
