WinML or DirectML support planned? #3103

Windows only, but this should support AMD and Intel GPUs using D3D12 backend or even DirectML which with custom metacommands seems even able to use tensor cores on Volta GPUs.. Hope to hear news at least by Build conference in May

Cross-referencing https://github.com/Microsoft/CNTK/issues/960 and https://github.com/Microsoft/CNTK/issues/2839 as relevant.

@veikkoeeva note Net & C# are really not needed WinML is a Win32 API in Windows insider SDKs and this month 1803 SDK it has C++ header WinML.h and WinML.lib.. altough still no samples using Win32 API presumably at Build some Win32 API samples released.. See how Win32 API: 847d82e6-609c-4f88-9c94-0b4985a17582 Taken from (with DirectML details): https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/directx/2018/03/19/gaming-with-windows-ml/

WinML uses DirectML, and it's mainly for inference. Currently you can use WinML by exporting the CNTK model in ONNX format.

It appears ONNX and WinML are in https://github.com/dotnet/machinelearning/.
