This notebook is based on ImageNet training in PyTorch.
The goal of this notebook is to demonstrate how to use the Neural Network Compression Framework NNCF 8-bit quantization to optimize a PyTorch model for inference with OpenVINO Toolkit. The optimization process contains the following steps:
FP32
model to INT8
For more advanced usage, refer to these examples.
This tutorial uses the ResNet-18 model with the Tiny ImageNet-200 dataset. ResNet-18 is the version of ResNet models that contains the fewest layers (18). Tiny ImageNet-200 is a subset of the larger ImageNet dataset with smaller images. The dataset will be downloaded in the notebook. Using the smaller model and dataset will speed up training and download time. To see other ResNet models, visit PyTorch hub.
NOTE: This notebook requires a C++ compiler.
%pip install -q "openvino>=2023.1.0" "torch" "torchvision"
%pip install -q "git+https://github.com/openvinotoolkit/nncf.git@release_v260"
On Windows, add the required C++ directories to the system PATH.
Import NNCF and all auxiliary packages from your Python code. Set a name for the model, and the image width and height that will be used for the network. Also define paths where PyTorch and OpenVINO IR versions of the models will be stored.
NOTE: All NNCF logging messages below ERROR level (INFO and WARNING) are disabled to simplify the tutorial. For production use, it is recommended to enable logging by removing
set_log_level(logging.ERROR)
.

Using NNCF for model compression assumes that a pre-trained model and a training pipeline are already in use.
This tutorial demonstrates one possible training pipeline: a ResNet-18 model pre-trained on 1000 classes from ImageNet is fine-tuned with 200 classes from Tiny-ImageNet.
Subsequently, the training and validation functions will be reused as is for quantization-aware training.

А pre-trained floating-point model is a prerequisite for quantization. It can be obtained by tuning from scratch with the code below. However, this usually takes a lot of time. Therefore, this code has already been run and received good enough weights after 4 epochs (for the sake of simplicity, tuning was not done until the best accuracy). By default, this notebook just loads these weights without launching training. To train the model yourself on a model pre-trained on ImageNet, set pretrained_on_tiny_imagenet = False

At this step, a regular fine-tuning process is applied to further improve quantized model accuracy. Normally, several epochs of tuning are required with a small learning rate, the same that is usually used at the end of the training of the original model. No other changes in the training pipeline are required. Here is a simple example.

models, using Benchmark Tool - inference performance measurement tool in OpenVINO. By default, Benchmark Tool runs inference for 60 seconds in asynchronous mode on CPU. It returns inference speed as latency (milliseconds per image) and throughput (frames per second) values.
NOTE: This notebook runs
benchmark_app
for 15 seconds to give a quick indication of performance. For more accurate performance, it is recommended to runbenchmark_app
in a terminal/command prompt after closing other applications. Runbenchmark_app -m model.xml -d CPU
to benchmark async inference on CPU for one minute. Change CPU to GPU to benchmark on GPU. Runbenchmark_app --help
to see an overview of all command-line options.
