Mxnet backend is more memory efficient than Tensorflow, which use channel first and keep consistent with cuDNN.

And AWS announced the official support Keras + Mxnet, see https://github.com/awslabs/keras-apache-mxnet

reticulate::py_install(c("mxnet-cu90==1.0.0.post4","keras-mxnet==2.1.6b1"))
