Summary: In this article, we describe how we leverage Intel® Math Kernel Library (Intel® MKL) and significantly improved ONNC runtime execution time. Motivation ONNC runtime is synchronizing in C language. The advantage is that you can run on any CPU using ONNC runtime, but writing general C language on emerging hardware…

Release Note ONNC framework [New feature] ONNC supports new operators Clip, Max, Min, ReduceMean, and PRelu. C Backend [New feature] ONNC can compile models into C files. [New feature] ONNC provides a library containing function implementation for 116 neural network operators defined in ONNX rel-1.3.0 specification. [New feature] The ONNC library can call Intel MKLDNN library for accelerating the computation of convolution and Gemm (matrix multiplication) on Intel CPU.

Some hardware modules inside NVDLA change the precision of the prediction results. If a calibrator didn’t consider hardware architectural characteristics in its algorithm, then it may not preserve the precision of some AI models. For some large AI models, the lack of architectural consideration would produce unacceptable errors. …

Release Note ONNC framework [New Feature] add methods for manipulating ComputeOperator input/output links [New Feature] add methods for erasing Value in Module [New Feature] add new method addOnncIrOptimization() for class TargetBackend [New Feature] add new method runOnComputeGraph() for class CustomPass<T> [New Feature] add several utility libraries [New Feature] add 5 ONNC IR optimization passes

Release Note New Features NVDLA Backend The first open-source compiler backend that supports NVIDIA Deep Learning Accelerator (NVDLA) Initial release of nv_full hardwre configuration support Support status for the models in the ONNX model zoo — ONNC can compile 6 models and run on NVDLA virtual platform successfully. 2 models are not supported by…

NOTE: The feature described below is scheduled to be available in version 1.0.0. ONNC serves as a bridge between AI frameworks and the underlying accelerator hardware. Like GCC in the traditional compiler area, ONNC intends to support any kind of deep learning accelerators (DLAs) with a unified interface for the…

Memory allocation is an essential step in the traditional compiler and in the neural network (NN) compiler as well. Each variable of program (or tensor of NN model) is assigned a memory space to store its value for use by later operation. In this article, we present applying to NN…

The Open Neural Network Compiler (ONNC) project aims to provide a compiler to connect Open Neural Network Exchange Format (ONNX) to every Deep Learning Accelerators (DLAs). ONNX is a standard format for representing deep learning models that enables models to be correctly transferred between frameworks, like Caffe, CNTK, MXNet, PyTorch…
