13.1. [HL-NO-DDR] Quartus® Prime System Console Script Options

The Quartus® Prime System Console script facilitates various operations related to performance testing and functional evaluation of the design example. The following table provides an explanation of the options that you can use with the script:
Table 9.   System Console Script Options
Option Usage
--input

Path to input binary (*.bin) file

Must be in either fp16 or uint8 depending on layout transform arch parameter option: do_u8_fp16_conversion.

--num_inferences Number of inferences.
For some operation modes, the number of inferences is hardcoded for optimal performance measurements:
  • Core IP Performance: 1
  • System Performance: 32
--output_shape Output shape of graph in CHW format. For example: [1000 1 1].
--functional

Mode of operation. You can use only one of these options at a time.

  • Functional: Used for functional testing for large number of inferences.
  • Core IP Performance: Evaluates core IP Performance.
  • System Performance: End to end IP performance including input and output streamer.
--core_ip_performance
