Backends may change and are architecture specific, some backends are:

1) MKLDNN https://github.com/intel/mkl-dnn

2) MLOpen https://rocm.github.io/miopen.html

3) CuDNN https://developer.nvidia.com/cudnn

4) Arm NN https://www.arm.com/products/silicon-ip-cpu/machine-learning/arm-nn

Maybe challenging to support all of these.

Might it be possible to import and export models in ONNX (https://onnx.ai/) format? In cases where one needs very high performance in the training phase, one can use an optimized library. Are developers of the libraries you are considering to integrate supportive?
