/// @page memory_format_propagation_cpp Memory Format Propagation
/// This example demonstrates memory format propagation, which is critical for
/// deep learning applications performance.
///
/// > Example code: @ref memory_format_propagation.cpp
///
/// Memory format propagation is one of the central notions that needs to be
/// well-understood to use oneDNN correctly.
///
/// Convolution and inner product primitives choose the memory format when you
/// create them with the placeholder memory format
/// #dnnl::memory::format_tag::any for input or output. The memory format
/// chosen is based on different circumstances such as hardware and
/// convolutional parameters. Using the placeholder memory format is the
/// recommended practice for convolutions, since they are the most
/// compute-intensive operations in most topologies where they are present.
///
/// Other primitives, such as Elementwise, LRN, batch normalization and other,
/// on forward propagation should use the same memory format as the preceding
/// layer thus propagating the memory format through multiple oneDNN primitives.
/// This avoids unnecessary reorders which may be expensive and should be
/// avoided unless a compute-intensive primitive requires a different format.
/// For performance reasons, backward computations of such primitives requires
/// consistent memory format with the corresponding forward computations.
/// Hence, when initializing there primitives for backward computations you
/// should use #dnnl::memory::format_tag::any memory format tag as well.
///
/// Below is the short summary when to use and not to use memory format
/// #dnnl::memory::format_tag::any during operation description initialization:

/// @section memory_format_propagation_intro Introduction to the tutorial
///
/// This C++ API example demonstrates how to use optimized memory formats
/// supported by oneDNN:
/// - How to configure primitives to use optimized memory formats.
/// - How to determine whether data needs to be reordered from/to optimized
///   memory formats.
///
/// This tutorial assumes that the reader has already reviewed the
/// @ref getting_started_cpp tutorial.
///
/// The example is built around a CNN consisting of a convolution followed by
/// a pooling and consists of the following steps:
/// 1. Create a pooling primitive descriptor based on the memory format chosen
///    by the convolution primitive.
/// 2. Create memory descriptors for input and output data in the NCHW memory
///    format.
/// 3. Determine if input and output data needs to be reordered from/to the
///    optimized memory format.
/// 4. Create memory objects; and necessary primitives and execute them.
///
/// These steps are implemented in the @ref memory_format_propagation_tutorial
/// which in turn is called from `main()` which is also responsible for error
/// handling.

/// * The convolution primitive picked up @ref
