Description

This document has instructions for running ResNet34* SSD FP32 inference using Intel® Optimization for TensorFlow*.

The ResNet34 SSD accuracy scripts (fp32_accuracy and fp32_accuracy_1200) use the COCO validation dataset in the TF records format. See the COCO dataset document for instructions on downloading and preprocessing the COCO validation dataset.

The performance benchmarking scripts (fp32_inference and fp32_inference_1200) use synthetic data, so no dataset is required.

Quick Start Scripts

Script name Description
fp32_accuracy Runs an accuracy test using data in the TF records format with an input size of 300x300.
fp32_accuracy_1200 Runs an accuracy test using data in the TF records format with an input size of 1200x1200.
fp32_inference Runs inference with a batch size of 1 using synthetic data with an input size of 300x300. Prints out the time spent per batch and total samples/second.
fp32_inference_1200 Runs inference with a batch size of 1 using synthetic data with an input size of 1200x1200. Prints out the time spent per batch and total samples/second.
multi_instance_batch_inference_1200 Uses numactl to run inference (batch_size=1) with one instance per socket. Uses synthetic data with an input size of 1200x1200. Waits for all instances to complete, then prints a summarized throughput value.
multi_instance_online_inference_1200 Uses numactl to run inference (batch_size=1) with 4 cores per instance. Uses synthetic data with an input size of 1200x1200. Waits for all instances to complete, then prints a summarized throughput value.


Docker*

The model container includes the scripts and libraries needed to run ResNet34 SSD FP32 inference. To run one of the quick start scripts using this container, you'll need to provide a volume mount for the output directory. Running an accuracy test will also require a volume mount for the dataset directory (with the COCO validation dataset in the TF records format). Inference performance scripts use synthetic data.

DATASET_DIR=<path to the dataset (for accuracy testing only)>
OUTPUT_DIR=<directory where log files will be written>

docker run \
  --env DATASET_DIR=${DATASET_DIR} \
  --env OUTPUT_DIR=${OUTPUT_DIR} \
  --env http_proxy=${http_proxy} \
  --env https_proxy=${https_proxy} \
  --volume ${DATASET_DIR}:${DATASET_DIR} \
  --volume ${OUTPUT_DIR}:${OUTPUT_DIR} \
  --privileged --init -t \
  intel/object-detection:tf-latest-ssd-resnet34-fp32-inference \
  /bin/bash quickstart/<script name>.sh
