<strong><code>MXNet.mx.Context</code></strong> &mdash; <em>Type</em>.</p>
<pre><code class="julia">Context(dev_type, dev_id)

<p>A context describes the device type and id on which computation should be carried on.</p>
<p><a target='_blank' href='https://github.com/apache/mxnet/blob/26a5ad1f39784a60d1564f6f740e5c7bd971cd65/julia/src/context.jl#L22-L26' class='documenter-source'>source</a><br></p>

<strong><code>MXNet.mx.context</code></strong> &mdash; <em>Method</em>.</p>
<pre><code class="julia">context(x::NDArray)

<p>Get the context that this <code>NDArray</code> lives on.</p>
<p><a target='_blank' href='https://github.com/apache/mxnet/blob/26a5ad1f39784a60d1564f6f740e5c7bd971cd65/julia/src/ndarray/context.jl#L18-L22' class='documenter-source'>source</a><br></p>

<strong><code>MXNet.mx.cpu</code></strong> &mdash; <em>Function</em>.</p>
<pre><code class="julia">cpu(dev_id)
</code></pre>
<p>Get a CPU context with a specific id. <code>cpu()</code> is usually the default context for many operations when no context is specified.</p>
<p><strong>Arguments</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><code>dev_id::Integer = 0</code>: the CPU id.</li>
</ul>
<p><a target='_blank' href='https://github.com/apache/mxnet/blob/26a5ad1f39784a60d1564f6f740e5c7bd971cd65/julia/src/context.jl#L118-L126' class='documenter-source'>source</a><br></p>

<strong><code>MXNet.mx.current_context</code></strong> &mdash; <em>Method</em>.</p>
<pre><code class="julia">current_context()
</code></pre>
<p>Return the current context.</p>
<p>By default, <code>mx.cpu()</code> is used for all the computations and it can be overridden by using the <code>@context</code> macro.</p>

<p>Empties the memory cache for the current contexts device. MXNet utilizes a memory pool to avoid excessive allocations. Calling empty_cache will empty the memory pool of the contexts device. This will only free the memory of the unreferenced data.</p>
