Background

The convolutional classifier families so far (timm_resnet, timm_vgg) are
plain stacks. MobileNetV3 is the mobile baseline in the same set and is not
supported: timm/mobilenetv3_large_100.ra_in1k cannot be built or served today.

Exit Criteria

  • A timm_mobilenetv3 family builds timm MobileNetV3 checkpoints from HF-hosted
    safetensors and produces logits matching timm's own implementation.
  • The three block kinds and the squeeze-excite gate are handled.
  • The family is registered across the runtime strategy matrix, validation
    workloads, benchmark suite, website data, and the E2E model registry.

Non-goals: quantized builds, tensor-parallel builds, and the _075 / _050
width variants beyond what the stage-count schedule already covers.

Implementation

Block shape is recovered from the checkpoint: the block kind follows from which
convolutions are present (conv for conv-bn-act, conv_pwl for inverted
residual, neither for depthwise separable), the depthwise kernel from its weight
shape, and the SE gate from the se.* keys.

Two things are not in the checkpoint and come from an architecture table:
the per-stage stride and the activation, because MobileNetV3 uses ReLU in the
early stages and hard-swish later. Tables are provided for the 6-stage small and
7-stage large layouts and selected by stage count; an unknown stage count is
rejected rather than guessed.

Three new ops:

Op Definition
hard-sigmoid clamp(x / 6 + 0.5, 0, 1) as a clamped affine scale
hard-swish x * hard_sigmoid(x)
squeeze-excite spatial mean, 1x1 reduce + ReLU, 1x1 expand, hard-sigmoid gate multiplied back

The residual is added only when a block keeps both spatial shape and channel
count, matching timm.

No public API, ABI, or bundle format change. No new dependencies.

Validation

Commands and Results

python -m pytest tests/builder/ tests/tools/ tests/e2e_harness/ -q -n 8 \
  --dist=worksteal --import-mode=importlib -p no:cacheprovider
=> 3990 passed, 8 skipped

python -m pytest -q \
  tests/e2e/models/timm_mobilenetv3/test_timm_mobilenetv3_family_plugin.py
=> 13 passed

cmake --build $BUILD --target trtmc_model_timm_mobilenetv3 \
  test_timm_mobilenetv3_image_preprocess_seam
$BUILD/test_timm_mobilenetv3_image_preprocess_seam
=> build and link clean; test exit 0

python -m ruff check ... => All checks passed
python tools/legal_headers.py => findings=0
clang-format => clean

Numerical parity was measured twice, because the two checks answer different
questions:

Reference Correlation argmax top-5 What it proves
Hand-written PyTorch 0.99999921 match 5/5 the TensorRT graph matches the intended graph
timm's own implementation 0.99999924 match 5/5 the stride and activation table is correct

The second check matters: the hand-written reference shares the schedule table
with the builder, so it cannot validate that table. timm's implementation shares
no code with it, and the checkpoint loads into timm with no missing or
unexpected keys, so agreement there covers the strides, the activation
placement, and the SE gate definition.

Hardware, Environment, and Revisions

  • GPU: NVIDIA A100-SXM4-80GB, compute capability 8.0.

  • Container: Dockerfile.dev.x86 dev image, Ubuntu 24.04, Python 3.12.

  • TensorRT 11.1.0.106, CUDA architecture 80-real, Release build.

  • Reference: timm 1.0.29 with torchvision 0.27.0+cpu on torch 2.12.0+cpu.

  • Parity measured at fp32; the family also supports fp16.

  • timm/mobilenetv3_large_100.ra_in1k @ 96f46a1c52932f27492dff66c72378eb99b443a7.

    The manifest does not pin hf_revision: the timm reference resolves
    hf-hub:<id> at main, so a pin disagrees with the cache the warm step
    populates and fails the offline reference run. See feat(timm_resnet): add timm ResNet image-classification family #1121.

Not Run / Remaining Gaps

  • No E2E harness run. The manifest is registered but was not executed here.
  • Only the 7-stage large layout was verified against a real checkpoint. The
    6-stage small schedule is implemented and unit-tested for shape, but no
    mobilenetv3_small_* checkpoint was downloaded or compared numerically.
  • The _100 width was verified; other widths share the schedule and are
    expected to work, but are untested.
  • No performance numbers. The benchmark row is registered but was not run.

Notes For Future Readers

This is the first family here whose graph is not fully derivable from the
checkpoint. If a future MobileNetV3 variant has a different stage count, add its
schedule to _SCHEDULES rather than widening a guess, and validate it against
timm rather than against a hand-written reference, for the reason in the
validation table above.

Risk level

  • Low
  • Medium
  • High

Additive family. Existing families are untouched except for shared registration
points, all widened rather than redirected, and the full CPU suite passes.

📝 Summary

Summary

Adds the timm_mobilenetv3 image-classification family. The family builds TensorRT engines from HF-hosted safetensors and serves MobileNetV3 small and large checkpoint layouts.

The implementation:

  • Detects block topology, depthwise convolutions, and squeeze-excite layers from checkpoint keys and tensor shapes.
  • Supports architecture-specific stage strides, activations, residual connections, FP32, and FP16.
  • Adds hard-sigmoid, hard-swish, squeeze-excite, preprocessing, weight loading, and classification pipeline support.
  • Registers model configuration, runtime strategy, validation workload, benchmark entry, website metadata, and E2E test assets.
  • Adds family-owned E2E runners, references, comparators, contracts, and benchmark tooling.

Validation reported 3,990 passing tests, 13 family-specific tests, successful build and preprocessing seam tests, linting, legal-header checks, and formatting checks. The timm/mobilenetv3_large_100.ra_in1k result reached 0.99999924 correlation with matching argmax and top-5 predictions.

No public API, ABI, bundle format, or dependency changes are intended. The family adds a locked timm==1.0.28 reference dependency.

Architecture impact

Family-owned files

The change adds the family implementation under:

  • python/tensorrt_model_connect/families/timm_mobilenetv3/
  • src/runtime/models/timm_mobilenetv3/
  • tests/e2e/models/timm_mobilenetv3/

These files own model configuration, checkpoint loading, TensorRT graph construction, preprocessing, runtime execution, E2E behavior, and family validation.

Shared surfaces

The change updates shared registries and configuration surfaces:

  • Runtime strategy matrix.
  • Validation workload and model bindings.
  • Performance timing contracts and release benchmarks.
  • Model-plugin encapsulation checks.
  • Website model metadata, support matrix, and runtime-strategy documentation.
  • Legal-header exception checks.
  • Shared benchmark baseline routing.

Affected consumers

The following consumers can select the new family:

  • TensorRT model build and bundle configuration.
  • Runtime image-classification execution.
  • Imagenette validation workloads.
  • Performance baseline and release benchmark systems.
  • E2E model discovery, reference comparison, and runtime strategy execution.
  • Website support metadata and documentation.

New dependency direction

The Python reference profile adds timm==1.0.28. The dependency is used for reference verification and HF Transformers-based validation. No runtime dependency change is reported.

Unresolved blast-radius questions

  • E2E execution was not performed.
  • Benchmark measurements were not performed.
  • Numerical validation for small and non-_100 variants was not performed.
  • Runtime compatibility across all supported TensorRT, GPU, and distributed configurations remains unverified.

Review status

HUMAN REVIEW REQUIRED

The reported unit, family, build, seam, lint, legal-header, and formatting checks pass. However, E2E execution, benchmark measurements, and broader variant validation remain incomplete. These limits prevent a full PASS assessment.

Walkthrough

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6808b

The new MobileNetV3 performance workload cannot load its checkpoint through the configured reference path, so this should be corrected before merge. Validation can also miss non-finite preprocessing output and report misleading model identity.

Full details: Family Ownership Boundary

Explanation

The pull request introduces two ownership-boundary violations. First, benchmarks/performance/baselines/task_reference.py:576 adds timm_mobilenetv3 to the NeMo ASR branch. That branch calls _load_nemo_asr_reference_model at line 579, which loads nemo.collections.asr at lines 545-548, and calls model.transcribe at lines 608-615. This makes the new vision family rely on speech-family reference implementation. Second, the pull request edits the central runtime strategy map at tests/runtime_strategy_matrix.yaml:64 and :950-959. The new family already owns timm_mobilenetv3_image_classification in src/runtime/models/timm_mobilenetv3/MODEL.toml:7, and tools/model_ci.py:699-710 derives strategy ownership from these manifests. The central map edit therefore violates the explicit prohibition on changing a central strategy map. The new family has no direct imports of another model-family package; its copied E2E sidecars use shared harness contracts, which are allowed.

Resolution

Remove timm_mobilenetv3 from the NeMo ASR branch. Route this family through the vision reference path or its model-owned HF reference. Remove the family-specific additions from the central runtime strategy map and any other central family or strategy registries. Use the model-owned MODEL.toml manifests and shared model-agnostic discovery and harness mechanics instead.

Full details: Shared Semantic Neutrality

Explanation

The pull request adds model-specific semantics to shared files. In benchmarks/performance/baselines/task_reference.py, the changed _load_asr condition adds timm_mobilenetv3 to the NeMo ASR path. The new family is configured as image classification, and the release entry uses hf-transformers-vision; the shared _load_vision timm branch still excludes timm_mobilenetv3. This introduces incorrect family-specific reference behavior in shared code. The pull request also expands shared model-specific configuration in timing_contracts.py, benchmarks/performance/release.yaml, tests/runtime_strategy_matrix.yaml, and the Imagenette validation selectors and model bindings. These changes add family-specific timing, benchmark, runtime-strategy, and validation decisions rather than only using model-agnostic behavior through an existing narrow contract.

Resolution

Remove the timm_mobilenetv3 addition from the shared ASR conditional. Route the family through a model-agnostic vision contract or a model-owned reference adapter, and ensure the timm vision behavior is not selected by a new shared family branch. Refactor or remove the shared family-specific benchmark, timing, runtime-strategy, and validation additions; use the existing family-owned registration mechanism so shared code consumes generic contracts and family-owned data supplies the specialization.

Full details: Benchmark Validation Integrity

Explanation

The new performance comparison is not valid. The release entry timm_mobilenetv3.classify selects hf-transformers-vision (release.yaml:977-989; task_reference.py:2283-2288), but the PR adds timm_mobilenetv3 to the NeMo ASR branch in _load_asr (task_reference.py:576-615) and does not add it to the timm branch in _load_vision (task_reference.py:1842). The vision loader therefore falls through to the SAM reference path instead of timing timm MobileNetV3, so the affected baseline cannot provide a valid comparison. In addition, the activated task-model-call-wall contract differs in measured work: the reference times model execution plus scalar argmax and isfinite().all().item() (task_reference.py:1855-1858, 396-402), while the candidate starts at TrtModuleImpl::forward_async, includes full device-to-host output copying (trt_module_impl.cpp:556-589) and C++ result processing (pipeline.cpp:47-64), and performs finite_sum only after the timer (trtmc_benchmark_worker.cpp:755-773). Thus full output transfer and related work are included only on the candidate side, while output validation is included only on the reference side. The PR's generic matrix tests verify registration, not this consumer path; the description also states that the benchmark was not run.

Resolution

Remove timm_mobilenetv3 from the _load_asr family set and add it to the timm family set in _load_vision. Add a test or run the actual release baseline for timm_mobilenetv3.classify to confirm that it loads the timm model path and emits a valid baseline result. Then align the timed regions: make both reference and candidate include the same output materialization, synchronization, reduction, and output-validation work, or exclude those operations from both sides. Update the declared measurement policy only after the two paths are equivalent, and run the affected release benchmark.

Full details: Shared Change Blast Radius

Explanation

The PR changes shared performance code without a valid model-agnostic need and introduces an incompatible consumer path. The new release entry uses task-reference with adapter: hf-transformers-vision, which dispatches to _load_vision. That function still recognizes only timm_vit, timm_resnet, and timm_vgg; timm_mobilenetv3 therefore reaches the SAM fallback. The PR instead adds timm_mobilenetv3 to _load_asr, where it loads a NeMo ASR model and calls model.transcribe. The description identifies registration surfaces and reports CPU/family tests, but it does not explain this shared change or provide benchmark/task-reference validation. The family-local tests validate the builder, not the altered shared reference path.

Resolution

Remove timm_mobilenetv3 from the _load_asr family set. Add it to the model-agnostic TIMM vision branch in _load_vision if the shared task-reference benchmark is intended; otherwise remove or replace that benchmark baseline with a validated family-owned reference. Document the affected consumers (performance catalog, timing contract, validation workload, and runtime-strategy registry), the additive compatibility impact, and why those global registries must be updated. Add tests for the new family’s task-reference vision dispatch and run the performance/catalog validation or benchmark path before merging.

Do not return an empty result when the logits output is absent.

Lines 51-52 and 55-56 return a default ClassificationResult when the pipeline cannot find a logits output or the output is empty. top_class then stays at its default value, and the caller cannot tell the difference between a failed inference and a real prediction of that class. Throw instead, so a bundle or engine mismatch surfaces at the call site.

Move MobileNetV3 benchmark behavior into a family-owned adapter.

This violates the benchmark ownership contract and makes future MobileNetV3 changes depend on shared code. Keep shared code model-agnostic and move the reference path and timing metadata into a MobileNetV3-owned adapter.

Use the checkpoint kernel and scheduled stride for conv_bn_act.

matches accepts any mobilenetv3* model, and _discover_layout classifies every block containing conv as conv_bn_act, including blocks in stride-2 stages. The build branch still passes (1, 1) with the default stride and leaves cur_h/cur_w unchanged. A matched checkpoint with a non-1x1 kernel or a stride-2 conv_bn_act block can therefore produce an inconsistent convolution or global-pooling window. Derive the kernel from w.shape, pass the scheduled stride and matching padding, and update cur_h/cur_w.

timm mobilenetv3_small_100 architecture definition ds_r1_k3_s2_e1_c16_se0.25 squeeze excite DepthwiseSeparableConv

💡 Result:

In the timm (PyTorch Image Models) library, the string ds_r1_k3_s2_e1_c16_se0.25 is a concise configuration shorthand used to define a specific layer within the MobileNetV3 architecture [1]. Each component of this string corresponds to a parameter of the DepthwiseSeparableConv block [2][1]: - ds: Specifies the block type as a DepthwiseSeparable convolution [1]. - r1: Indicates that this block is repeated 1 time [1]. - k3: Sets the depthwise convolution kernel size to 3x3 [1]. - s2: Sets the stride of the operation to 2 [1]. - e1: Specifies the expansion ratio as 1. For a depthwise separable convolution, an expansion ratio of 1 typically means the block functions without an initial pointwise expansion layer, distinguishing it from an InvertedResidual (ir) block [2]. - c16: Sets the number of output channels to 16 [1]. - se0.25: Enables Squeeze-and-Excitation (SE) with a reduction ratio of 0.25 (often referred to as rd_ratio) [2][1][3]. The DepthwiseSeparableConv in timm is designed as an efficient alternative to standard convolutions, consisting of a depthwise convolution followed by an optional Squeeze-and-Excitation module and a pointwise convolution [2]. In the context of MobileNetV3-Small, this specific configuration (ds_r1_k3_s2_e1_c16_se0.25) is used at the beginning of the network (often referred to as stage 0) to process input images efficiently [4][5].

Apply the squeeze-excite gate in depthwise_separable blocks. TimmMobilenetv3Plugin.build_engine loads SE weights but skips graph_ops.add_squeeze_excite in this branch. For MobileNetV3-Small stage 0, this sends the depthwise output directly to conv_pw, so logits may differ from timm. Add the gate after the depthwise activation and before conv_pw.

Other (CWE-377): Insecure Temporary File

Reachability: Internal · Exploitability: Moderate

Create the kernel shared object with exclusive, private temporary-file semantics.

The deterministic /tmp/trtmc_kernel_<name>.so path follows pre-existing symlinks. A local user can redirect the write to a selected target, and load_single_kernel then loads the same path. The prefix prevents / from escaping /tmp; the main issue is unsafe temporary-file creation. Check open/write errors before loading the module.

Pass the selected section name as the load label.

When ctx.config_json enables tensor parallelism, the runtime requests engine_plan_tp_rank<N>, but this family can still produce a bundle with only engine_plan. The loader then reports the missing section and records timing as "engine_plan" instead of the requested rank-specific section. Pass engine_section.c_str() as the label.

Adds a timm_mobilenetv3 family covering the timm MobileNetV3 classifiers,
following the timm_resnet pattern: weights load from HF-hosted safetensors and
the network is built with TensorRT Network API calls rather than via ONNX.

Block shape is recovered from the checkpoint. The block type follows from which
convolutions are present (conv, conv_pwl, or neither), the depthwise kernel
from its weight shape, and the squeeze-excite gate from the se.* keys.

Two things are not recorded in the checkpoint and come from an architecture
table instead: the per-stage stride and the activation, because MobileNetV3
uses ReLU in the early stages and hard-swish later. Tables are provided for the
6-stage small and 7-stage large layouts, selected by stage count.

Adds three ops the earlier convolutional families did not need: hard-sigmoid
implemented as a clamped affine scale, hard-swish as x times that gate, and the
squeeze-excite block as spatial mean, 1x1 reduce with ReLU, 1x1 expand, and a
hard-sigmoid gate multiplied back in.

Verified against timm/mobilenetv3_large_100.ra_in1k in two ways. Against a
hand-written PyTorch reference: correlation 0.99999921. Against timm's own
implementation, which shares no code with the builder and therefore validates
the stride and activation table: correlation 0.99999924, matching argmax, exact
top-5 agreement, and a state dict that loads with no missing or unexpected
keys.

timm_mobilenetv3 is registered as a co-owner of the image_classification runner
and comparator sidecars, and the timm reference branch in the performance
baseline now covers it.

In `@benchmarks/performance/baselines/task_reference.py`:
- Line 1842: Update the family routing around the timm vision and ASR family
sets: add timm_mobilenetv3 to the timm vision set used by _load_vision(), and
remove it from the ASR set so it is created through timm.create_model() rather
than NeMo or the SAM fallback.
