Supported TensorRT Versions

Development on the main branch is for the latest version of TensorRT 8.4.3.1 with full-dimensions and dynamic shape support.

For previous versions of TensorRT, refer to their respective branches.

Full Dimensions + Dynamic Shapes

Building INetwork objects in full dimensions mode with dynamic shape support requires calling the following API:

C++

const auto explicitBatch = 1U << static_cast<uint32_t>(nvinfer1::NetworkDefinitionCreationFlag::kEXPLICIT_BATCH);
builder->createNetworkV2(explicitBatch)

Python

import tensorrt
explicit_batch = 1 << (int)(tensorrt.NetworkDefinitionCreationFlag.EXPLICIT_BATCH)
builder.create_network(explicit_batch)

For examples of usage of these APIs see:

Supported Operators

Current supported ONNX operators are found in the operator support matrix.

Installation

Dependencies

Building

For building within docker, we recommend using and setting up the docker containers as instructed in the main TensorRT repository to build the onnx-tensorrt library.

Once you have cloned the repository, you can build the parser libraries and executables by running:

cd onnx-tensorrt
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DTENSORRT_ROOT=<path_to_trt> && make -j
// Ensure that you update your LD_LIBRARY_PATH to pick up the location of the newly built library:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Note that this project has a dependency on CUDA. By default the build will look in /usr/local/cuda for the CUDA toolkit installation. If your CUDA path is different, overwrite the default path by providing -DCUDA_TOOLKIT_ROOT_DIR=<path_to_cuda_install> in the CMake command.

Experimental Ops

All experimental operators will be considered unsupported by the ONNX-TRT's supportsModel() function.

NonMaxSuppression is available as an experimental operator in TensorRT 8. It has the limitation that the output shape is always padded to length [max_output_boxes_per_class, 3], therefore some post processing is required to extract the valid indices.

Executable Usage

There are currently two officially supported tools for users to quickly check if an ONNX model can parse and build into a TensorRT engine from an ONNX file.

For C++ users, there is the trtexec binary that is typically found in the <tensorrt_root_dir>/bin directory. The basic command of running an ONNX model is:

trtexec --onnx=model.onnx

Refer to the link or run trtexec -h for more information on CLI options.

For Python users, there is the polygraphy tool. The basic command for running an onnx model is:

polygraphy run model.onnx --trt

Refer to the link or run polygraphy run -h for more information on CLI options.

NOTE: the onnx2trt executable is marked for deprecation, and will be removed in the next TensorRT release. It is no longer built by default with the library.

In order to build this binary, the following prerequisites are needed:

1. Downgraded ONNX version (checkout v1.8.0 tag in `third_party/onnx`)
2. Ensure protobuf version is <= 3.11.x
3. Append `BUILD_EXES=1` to CMake command

ONNX models can be converted to serialized TensorRT engines using the onnx2trt executable:

onnx2trt my_model.onnx -o my_engine.trt

ONNX models can also be converted to human-readable text:

onnx2trt my_model.onnx -t my_model.onnx.txt

ONNX models can also be optimized by ONNX's optimization libraries (added by dsandler). To optimize an ONNX model and output a new one use -m to specify the output model name and -O to specify a semicolon-separated list of optimization passes to apply:

onnx2trt my_model.onnx -O "pass_1;pass_2;pass_3" -m my_model_optimized.onnx

See more all available optimization passes by running:

onnx2trt -p

See more usage information by running:

onnx2trt -h

Python Modules

Python bindings for the ONNX-TensorRT parser are packaged in the shipped .whl files. Install them with

python3 -m pip install <tensorrt_install_dir>/python/tensorrt-8.x.x.x-cp<python_ver>-none-linux_x86_64.whl

TensorRT 8.4.3.1 supports ONNX release 1.12.0. Install it with:

python3 -m pip install onnx==1.12.0

The ONNX-TensorRT backend can be installed by running:

python3 setup.py install

ONNX-TensorRT Python Backend Usage

The TensorRT backend for ONNX can be used in Python as follows:

import onnx
import onnx_tensorrt.backend as backend
import numpy as np

model = onnx.load("/path/to/model.onnx")
engine = backend.prepare(model, device='CUDA:1')
input_data = np.random.random(size=(32, 3, 224, 224)).astype(np.float32)
output_data = engine.run(input_data)[0]
print(output_data)
print(output_data.shape)

C++ Library Usage

The model parser library, libnvonnxparser.so, has its C++ API declared in this header:

NvOnnxParser.h

Tests

After installation (or inside the Docker container), ONNX backend tests can be run as follows:

Real model tests only:

python onnx_backend_test.py OnnxBackendRealModelTest

All tests:

python onnx_backend_test.py

You can use -v flag to make output more verbose.

Pre-trained Models

Pre-trained models in ONNX format can be found at the ONNX Model Zoo
