How to test model

After we convert a PyTorch model to a backend model, we may need to test the speed of the model before using it. In MMDeploy, we provide a tool to test the speed of backend models in tools/test.py

Prerequisite

Before test the speed of a model of a specific backend, you should install the plugins of the backend and convert the model to the backend with our deploy tools.

Usage

python tools/test.py \
${DEPLOY_CFG} \
${MODEL_CFG} \
--model ${BACKEND_MODEL_FILES} \
[--speed-test] \
[--warmup ${WARM_UP}] \
[--log-interval ${LOG_INTERVERL}] \
[--log2file ${LOG_RESULT_TO_FILE}] \

Description of all arguments

  • deploy_cfg: The config for deployment.
  • model_cfg: The config of the model in OpenMMLab codebases.
  • --model: The backend model files. For example, if we convert a model to ncnn, we need to pass a ".param" file and a ".bin" file. If we convert a model to TensorRT, we need to pass the model file with ".engine" suffix.
  • --speed-test: Whether to activate speed test.
  • --warmup: warmup before counting inference elapse, require setting speed-test first.
  • --log-interval: The interval between each log, require setting speed-test first.
  • --log2file: Log speed test result in file format, need speed-test first.

* Other arguments in tools/test.py are used for performance test. They have no concern with speed test.

Example

python tools/test.py \
    configs/mmcls/classification_onnxruntime_static.py \
    {MMCLS_DIR}/configs/resnet/resnet50_b32x8_imagenet.py \
    --model model.onnx \
    --speed-test \
    --device cpu \
