CNTK Shared Libraries Naming Format

CNTK uses a common naming scheme for CNTK Shared Libraries on Windows (*.dll, *.lib) and Linux (*.so). The name of a file consists out of the library name, the CNTK component version, and the letter d at the end of the file name (right before file extension). See the complete name match tables below.

The format of a CNTK Shared Library file name is:

<Library_name>-<CNTK_Component_Version>[d].<File_Extension>
