The overall flow can be summarized with the diagram shown below (best viewed on GitHub):
flowchart TB;
A([Start]) --> B
B(prepare_samples)
B --> C[get_machine_info]
C --> D[measure_params]
D --> E[warm_up, batch_size=1]
E --> F[measure_flops]

direction TB
G[measure_allocated_memory]

H --> I[measure_detailed_inference_timing]
I --> J[measure_repeated_inference_timing]
J --> K[measure_energy]
end
F --> SG
SG --> END([End])
In cases where the sample and model don't reside on the same device (e.g. if a GPU is used for inference), we measure timing in three parts: cpu_to_gpu, on_device_inference, and gpu_to_cpu, as well as a sum of the three, total. The inference flow is shown below:
flowchart LR;
A([sample])
A --> B[cpu -> gpu]
B --> C[model __call__]
C --> D[gpu -> cpu]
D --> E([result])
Trying to benchmark a custom class, which is not a torch.nn.Module?
You can pass custom functions to benchmark as seen in this example.
- Allocated memory measurements are only available on CUDA devices.
- Energy consumption can only be measured on NVIDIA Jetson platforms at the moment.
- FLOPs and parameter count is not support for custom classes.
This work has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 871449 (OpenDR). It was developed for benchmarking tools in OpenDR, a non-proprietary toolkit for deep learning based functionalities for robotics and vision.
