Export: TensorRT ================ Export type: ``CPP_TensorRT`` C++ export using TensorRT. .. code-block:: n2d2 MobileNet_ONNX.ini -seed 1 -w /dev/null -export CPP_TensorRT -nbbits -32 .. Warning:: The calibration for this export is done using the tools provided by NVIDIA. For this reason, you cannot calibrate when exporting your network. You need to use the export to calibrate your network. Informations ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In order to exploit TensorRT optimizations, the N2D2 Framework provide a code generator linked with a C++/Python API that gives access to TensorRT methods, I/O handling and specifics control. The generated code is provided as a standalone code with its own compilation environment under a Makefile format. Moreover a benchmark environment with stimuli from the test dataset is given to evaluates execution time performances of your model. This allow a low level of dependency, only TensorRT, CUDA, cuDNN, cuBLAS and GCC are needed. We recommended you to ensure the correct compatibility of your installation by referring to the TensorRT archive page: https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/tensorrt/archives/index.html Follow the support matrix section of your TensorRT version, notice that TensorRT export have been tested from TensorRT 2.1 to TensorRT 8.2.3 versions. The TensorRT library includes implementation for the most common deep learning layers, but strong limitations are known depending of the TensorRT version. For example, TensorRT provide a support to the well-known resize layer since version 6.0.1. This layer is widely use for decoder, segmentation and detector tasks. For inferior version a support have been integrated under a plugin layer. The TensorRT plugin layers allow the application to implement not supported layers. You can find additional informations about how to implements new plugin layers here : https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/tensorrt/developer-guide/index.html#add_custom_layer The plugin layers that N2D2 TensorRT generator implements are available in the folder ``export/CPP_TensorRT/include/plugins/``. These layers are used by the N2D2 TensorRT generator when TensorRT doesn't provide support to a requested layers. Export parameters ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Extra parameters can be passed during export using the ``-export-parameters params.ini`` command line argument. The parameters must be saved in an INI-like file. List of available parameters: +-----------------------------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Argument [default value] | Description | +=================================================================+==========================================================================================================================+ | ``GenStimuliCalib`` [1] | If true (1), generate calibration files, necessary for 8-bits precision. | | | Beware that calibration files may take a lot of disk space! | +-----------------------------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Benchmark your TensorRT Model - C++ Benchmark ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The TensorRT export is given with a C++ benchmark ready to be used. The benchmark program is able to evaluates the applicative performances of your model on the test dataset exported under the ``stimuli`` folder at export time. A per-layer execution time analysis is also performed to evaluates your mode latency and identify potential bottleneck. Moreover different numerical precision supporter by NVIDIA GPU can be evaluates in order to assess potential acceleration factor and eventual applicative performances losses. When numerical precision is set to ``8`` bits for benchmark, the program will use the calibration files exported under the ``batches_calib`` folder at export time. The calibration files also corresponds to the test stimuli pre-processes for the ``IInt8EntropyCalibrator2`` that implement TensorRT. You can find more informations about the INT8 calibration procedure with TensorRT here : https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/tensorrt/developer-guide/index.html#optimizing_int8_c The command to compile and execute the C++ TensorRT Benchmark under a ``FP32`` precision is : :: make cd export_CPP_TensorRT_float32/ ./bin/n2d2_tensorRT_test -nbbits -32 To launch the Benchmark in ``FP16`` (half precision) use this command : :: ./bin/n2d2_tensorRT_test -nbbits -16 To launch the Benchmark in ``INT8`` use this command : :: ./bin/n2d2_tensorRT_test -nbbits 8 List of the program option related to the TensorRT C++ benchmark: +-----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Option [default value] | Description | +===================================+===============================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================+ | ``-batch`` [1] | Size of the batch to use | +-----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | ``-dev`` [0] | CUDA Device ID selection | +-----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | ``-stimulus`` [NULL] | Path to a specific input stimulus to test.
