◆ HasEngineSetupData()

bool eVision.EasyDeepLearning.EDeepLearningTool.HasEngineSetupData ( )

Whether the inference model has engine setup data.

Engine setup data allows for quicker configuration of the engine when reusing the same device, inference precision and batch size.

Use EDeepLearningTool.EngineSetupDataDevice, EDeepLearningTool.EngineSetupDataInferencePrecision, and EDeepLearningTool.EngineSetupDataBatchSize to retrieve the device (and engine), inference precision, and batch size for which the tool has engine setup data.

The engine setup data is stored in the tool after the first inference or after calling EDeepLearningTool.InitializeInference if the engine supports it. At the moment, only the TensorRT engine supports setup data. If you save the tool, the engine setup data will be saved with the tool and can be reused when loading the tool again.

The engine setup data will only be replaced when using another device and/or inference precision and/or batch size with an engine that supports engine setup data. Otherwise, this setup data will remain (for example, using an engine that does not supports setup data will leave the pervious engine setup data intact).

You can clear the engine setup data by using EDeepLearningTool.ClearEngineSetupData.

◆ AutoSavePeriod

int eVision.EasyDeepLearning.EDeepLearningTool.AutoSavePeriod
getset

Auto-save period. The auto-save period is the number of training iterations between each automatic save of the model.

In order for the model to be automatically saved during the training, the tool must have been loaded or saved to a file. The path where the tool will be saved is either indicated by EDeepLearningTool.Path or the three paths EDeepLearningTool.SettingsPath, EDeepLearningTool.InferenceModelPath, and EDeepLearningTool.TrainingModelPath. If one of these path is empty, the corresponding part of the tool will not be saved automatically during training.

By default, auto save is disabled and the period is equal to 0.

◆ AvailableDevices

◆ AvailableEngines

◆ BatchSize

int eVision.EasyDeepLearning.EDeepLearningTool.BatchSize
getset

Batch size. The batch size is the number of images that are processed together during training and batch inference.

When using multi-GPUs processing (see EDeepLearningTool.GPUIndexes), the batch size is the number of images that each GPU will process at once.

A large batch size will increase the processing speed on GPU but also the memory requirements.

The batch size must be bigger or equal to 1 and it is commonly chosen to be a power of 2.

If EDeepLearningTool.OptimizeBatchSize is 'true', then the value of this property will be optimized automatically for training or inference according to the situation.

See also EDeepLearningTool.BatchSizeForMaximumInferenceSpeed.

◆ BatchSizeForMaximumInferenceSpeed

int eVision.EasyDeepLearning.EDeepLearningTool.BatchSizeForMaximumInferenceSpeed
get

Computes the batch size that will maximize the inference speed on NVIDIA GPU. For all other devices, it will return 1.

This value is given as an indication and should not necessarily be used in practice.

You must choose a tradeoff between the overall inference speed (also called the throughput), which is limited by this value, and the time it takes to compute the result of a whole batch (also called the latency), which is minimized by making inference image per image (i.e. a batch size of 1). The tradeoff depends on your particular application.

Throw EError_DeepLearningToolNotTrained if the tool is not trained.
