sandeep-krishnamurthy opened a new pull request #14977: Add an utility for operator benchmarks
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/14977
 
 
   ## Description ##
   
   Add a tool to easily run operator benchmarks. This tool will be useful for MXNet developers, power users who wants to know more about individual operator performance and this tool can be integrated with CI/CD, nightly tests to catch any operator performance regression. Proposal on cwiki - https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MXNET/MXNet+Operator+Benchmarks
   
   1. This is the first PR to setup all basic required utilities, overall structure for this operator benchmarking utility, and overall skeleton for the tool.
   2. I have added 3 NDArray operator (add, sub, mul) and 1 Gluon (Conv2D) operator benchmark - code and results to showcase how it can be used. 
   3. More operators will be covered in following PRs. With this PR, we will be setting up basic structure of other contributors to pitch in.
   4. Added README explaining how to use the utility.
