* `tf.distribute`
* `tf.distribute.experimental.ParameterServerStrategy` now supports
training with Keras `Model.fit` when used with `DatasetCreator`.
* PluggableDevice
* Third-party devices can now connect to TensorFlow
[modularly](https://github.com/tensorflow/community/blob/master/rfcs/20190305-modular-tensorflow.md)
through [StreamExecutor C API](https://github.com/tensorflow/community/blob/master/rfcs/20200612-stream-executor-c-api.md).
and [PluggableDevice](https://github.com/tensorflow/community/blob/master/rfcs/20200624-pluggable-device-for-tensorflow.md) interface.
* Add custom ops and kernels through
[kernel and op registration C API](https://github.com/tensorflow/community/blob/master/rfcs/20190814-kernel-and-op-registration.md).
* Register custom graph optimization passes with
[graph optimization C API](https://github.com/tensorflow/community/blob/master/rfcs/20201027-modular-tensorflow-graph-c-api.md).
* [oneAPI Deep Neural Network Library (oneDNN)](https://github.com/oneapi-src/oneDNN)
CPU performance optimizations from
[Intel-optimized TensorFlow](https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/articles/intel-optimization-for-tensorflow-installation-guide.html)
are now available in the official x86-64 Linux and Windows builds.
* They are off by default. Enable them by setting the environment variable
`TF_ENABLE_ONEDNN_OPTS=1`.
* We do not recommend using them in GPU systems, as they have not been
sufficiently tested with GPUs yet.
