Documentation for TensorRT in TensorFlow (TF-TRT)

The documentaion on how to accelerate inference in TensorFlow with TensorRT (TF-TRT) is here: https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/dgx/tf-trt-user-guide/index.html

Examples for TensorRT in TensorFlow (TF-TRT)

This repository contains a number of different examples that show how to useTF-TRT. TF-TRT is a part of TensorFlow that optimizes TensorFlow graphs usingTensorRT. We have used these examples to verify the accuracy and performance of TF-TRT. For more information seeVerified Models.

• Image Classification

• Object Detection

Using TensorRT in TensorFlow (TF-TRT)

This module provides necessary bindings and introducesTRTEngineOp operator that wraps a subgraph in TensorRT. This module is under active development.

Installing TF-TRT

Currently Tensorflow nightly builds include TF-TRT by default, which means you don't need to install TF-TRT separately. You can pull the latest TF containers from docker hub or install the latest TF pip package to get access to the latest TF-TRT.

If you want to use TF-TRT on NVIDIA Jetson platform, you can find the download links for the relevant Tensorflow pip packages here:https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/dgx/index.html#installing-frameworks-for-jetson

Installing TensorRT

In order to make use of TF-TRT, you will need a local installation of TensorRT from theNVIDIA Developer website. Installation instructions for compatibility with TensorFlow are provided on theTensorFlow GPU support guide.

Documentation

TF-TRT documentaiongives an overview of the supported functionalities, provides tutorials and verified models, explains best practices with troubleshooting guides.

Tests

TF-TRT includes both Python tests and C++ unit tests. Most of Python tests are located in the test directory and they can be executed uring bazel test or directly with the Python command. Most of the C++ unit tests are used to test the conversion functions that convert each TF op to a number of TensorRT layers.

Compilation

In order to compile the module, you need to have a local TensorRT installation (libnvinfer.so and respective include files). During the configuration step, TensorRT should be enabled and installation path should be set. If installed through package managers (deb,rpm), configure script should find the necessary components from the system automatically. If installed from tar packages, user has to set path to location where the library is installed during configuration.
