This module provides necessary bindings and introduces TRTEngineOp
operator
that wraps a subgraph in TensorRT. This module is under active development.
Currently TensorFlow nightly builds include TF-TRT by default, which means you don't need to install TF-TRT separately. You can pull the latest TF containers from docker hub or install the latest TF pip package to get access to the latest TF-TRT.
If you want to use TF-TRT on NVIDIA Jetson platform, you can find the download links for the relevant TensorFlow pip packages here: https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/dgx/index.html#installing-frameworks-for-jetson
In order to make use of TF-TRT, you will need a local installation of TensorRT. Installation instructions for compatibility with TensorFlow are provided on the TensorFlow GPU support guide.
You can find example scripts for running inference on deep learning models in this repository: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorrt
We have used these examples to verify the accuracy and performance of TF-TRT. For more information see Verified Models.
TF-TRT documentation gives an overview of the supported functionalities, provides tutorials and verified models, explains best practices with troubleshooting guides.
TF-TRT includes both Python tests and C++ unit tests. Most of Python tests are
located in the test directory and they can be executed using bazel test
or
directly with the Python command. Most of the C++ unit tests are used to test
the conversion functions that convert each TF op to a number of TensorRT layers.
In order to compile the module, you need to have a local TensorRT installation (libnvinfer.so and respective include files). During the configuration step, TensorRT should be enabled and installation path should be set. If installed through package managers (deb,rpm), configure script should find the necessary components from the system automatically. If installed from tar packages, user has to set path to location where the library is installed during configuration.
