Use VNNI? Are you meeting issue when you follow the guide of pytorch?
Can you provide more details?

thanks for your reply, dsivkov.
I tried the guide again, and it works fine.
I have noticed that in your comments, there are some errors found.

git checkout 4ac91b2d64eeea5ca21083831db5950dc08441d6
ERROR
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

it should be you did not enter into the folder you git clone in the previous step.
the step is
git clone https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch.git
cd pytorch
git checkout 4ac91b2d64eeea5ca21083831db5950dc08441d6
...

Sorry to miss this step as I suppose it is a default operation after git clone.

Most annoying is
python setup.py build
ERROR
(yaml typing numpy pyyaml mkl mkl-include setuptools cmake cffi are needed)
(errors with MKL_DEPRICATED)

suggest follow “BUILDING FROM SOURCE” in https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/ to install pre-request libraries.
Prerequisites

1. Install Anaconda
2. Install optional dependencies:
   conda install numpy pyyaml mkl mkl-include setuptools cmake cffi typing

I have pypi:
pip list | egrep -i 'numpy|pyyaml|mkl|mkl-include|setuptools|cmake|cffi|typing'
DEPRECATION: The default format will switch to columns in the future. You can use --format=(legacy|columns) (or define a format=(legacy|columns) in your pip.conf under the [list] section) to disable this warning.
cffi (1.12.3)
cmake (3.13.3)
mkl (2019.0)
mkl-include (2019.0)
numpy (1.16.3)
PyYAML (5.1)
setuptools (41.0.1)
typing (3.6.6)
typing-extensions (3.7.2)

The issue looks like
pytorch/pytorch#18463
