Quick Start Tutorial for Compiling Deep Learning Models

Author: Yao Wang, Truman Tian

This example shows how to build a neural network with Relay python frontend and generates a runtime library for Nvidia GPU with TVM. Notice that you need to build TVM with cuda and llvm enabled.

Overview for Supported Hardware Backend of TVM

The image below shows hardware backend currently supported by TVM:

In this tutorial, we’ll choose cuda and llvm as target backends. To begin with, let’s import Relay and TVM.

import numpy as np

from tvm import relay
from tvm.relay import testing
import tvm
from tvm import te
from tvm.contrib import graph_executor
import tvm.testing

Define Neural Network in Relay

First, let’s define a neural network with relay python frontend. For simplicity, we’ll use pre-defined resnet-18 network in Relay. Parameters are initialized with Xavier initializer. Relay also supports other model formats such as MXNet, CoreML, ONNX and Tensorflow.

In this tutorial, we assume we will do inference on our device and the batch size is set to be 1. Input images are RGB color images of size 224 * 224. We can call the tvm.relay.expr.TupleWrapper.astext() to show the network structure.

batch_size = 1
num_class = 1000
image_shape = (3, 224, 224)
data_shape = (batch_size,) + image_shape
out_shape = (batch_size, num_class)

mod, params = relay.testing.resnet.get_workload(
    num_layers=18, batch_size=batch_size, image_shape=image_shape
)

# set show_meta_data=True if you want to show meta data
print(mod.astext(show_meta_data=False))
#[version = "0.0.5"]

Compilation

Next step is to compile the model using the Relay/TVM pipeline. Users can specify the optimization level of the compilation. Currently this value can be 0 to 3. The optimization passes include operator fusion, pre-computation, layout transformation and so on.

relay.build() returns three components: the execution graph in json format, the TVM module library of compiled functions specifically for this graph on the target hardware, and the parameter blobs of the model. During the compilation, Relay does the graph-level optimization while TVM does the tensor-level optimization, resulting in an optimized runtime module for model serving.

We’ll first compile for Nvidia GPU. Behind the scene, relay.build() first does a number of graph-level optimizations, e.g. pruning, fusing, etc., then registers the operators (i.e. the nodes of the optimized graphs) to TVM implementations to generate a tvm.module. To generate the module library, TVM will first transfer the high level IR into the lower intrinsic IR of the specified target backend, which is CUDA in this example. Then the machine code will be generated as the module library.

/workspace/python/tvm/target/target.py:397: UserWarning: Try specifying cuda arch by adding 'arch=sm_xx' to your target.
  warnings.warn("Try specifying cuda arch by adding 'arch=sm_xx' to your target.")

Run the generate library

Now we can create graph executor and run the module on Nvidia GPU.

# create random input
dev = tvm.cuda()
data = np.random.uniform(-1, 1, size=data_shape).astype("float32")
# create module
module = graph_executor.GraphModule(lib["default"](dev))
# set input and parameters
module.set_input("data", data)
# run
module.run()
# get output
out = module.get_output(0, tvm.nd.empty(out_shape)).numpy()

# Print first 10 elements of output
print(out.flatten()[0:10])
[0.00089283 0.00103331 0.0009094  0.00102275 0.00108751 0.00106737
 0.00106262 0.00095838 0.00110792 0.00113151]

Save and Load Compiled Module

We can also save the graph, lib and parameters into files and load them back in deploy environment.

# save the graph, lib and params into separate files
from tvm.contrib import utils

temp = utils.tempdir()
path_lib = temp.relpath("deploy_lib.tar")
lib.export_library(path_lib)
print(temp.listdir())
['deploy_lib.tar']
# load the module back.
loaded_lib = tvm.runtime.load_module(path_lib)
input_data = tvm.nd.array(data)

module = graph_executor.GraphModule(loaded_lib["default"](dev))
module.run(data=input_data)
out_deploy = module.get_output(0).numpy()

# Print first 10 elements of output
print(out_deploy.flatten()[0:10])

# check whether the output from deployed module is consistent with original one
tvm.testing.assert_allclose(out_deploy, out, atol=1e-5)
