Running Neuron Apache MXNet ResNet50 on Inferentia#
Introduction:#
In this tutorial we will compile and deploy ResNet50 model for Inferentia. In this tutorial we provide two main sections:
1.Compile the ResNet50 model.
2.Infer the compiled model.
Before running the following verify this Jupyter notebook is running “conda_aws_neuron_mxnet_p36” kernel. You can select the Kernel from the “Kernel -> Change Kernel” option on the top of this Jupyter notebook page. Neuron supports Python module, Symbol APIs and the C predict API. The following quick start example uses the Symbol API.
Warning#
This tutorial was tested on MXNet-1.5
MXNet-1.5 entered maintenance mode and require Neuron runtime 1.0, please see : MXNet-1.5 enters maintainence mode
To setup development environment for MXNet-1.5 see installation instructions for Neuron 1.15.1 : Neuron-1.15.1 MXNet install
Compile model on Neuron#
The following step will compile the resnet50 model. Compilation will take a few minutes on inf1.6xlarge. At the end of compilation, the files resnet-50_compiled-0000.params and resnet-50_compiled-symbol.json will be created in local directory.
