Concat Primitive Example
========================

This C++ API example demonstrates how to create and execute a :ref:`Concat <doxid-dev_guide_concat>` primitive.

Key optimizations included in this example:

* Identical source (src) memory formats.

* Creation of optimized memory format for destination (dst) from the primitive descriptor
