Hi everyone, I'm relatively new to the OpenVINO/NCS2 community. I'm trying to benchmark a model on the CPU/GPU/NCS2 and am getting a bit confused as to how the GPU device setting is working. My setup is an Nvidia 1080 Ti and Nvidia 960, with an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHz, that has an Intel® UHD Graphics 630. When I run the GPU setting comparing an OpenVINO optimized model vs an optimized tensorflow protobuf file, I'm getting image/sec framerates of 200 vs 25k, leading me to wonder whether I've set everything up right. Running clinfo gives

I've read on other forum posts that a multiple GPU system might need some additional configuration to make sure the Intel Graphics are being detected by OpenCL. Does everything seem right here, or is there further room for optimization? Is there any detailed documentation on making a GPU device work properly in a multiple graphic card system? Thanks in advance.

Hello ErikR,

 

Thanks for the question.

 

From an OpenCL on Intel Graphics perspective...

Assuming that's common clinfo source then Intel Graphics is being detected OK via OpenCL api...

Unfortunately we can't provide support for non-Intel products, but... if a sighting is observed where an Intel software/hardware stack conflicts per some specification or device targeting is confusing or untenable we want to know about it. Appreciate you sharing your experience.

Can you share how you installed the OpenCL runtime for Intel Graphics? From where you obtained the runtime?

 

On OpenVINO...

Some of the default information for forum post feedback you've already provided, but can you share the rest of the following? 

Please let us know what Processor, Operating System, Graphics Driver Version, and Tool Version you are using

Please state steps to reproduce the issue as precisely as possible

If you are using command line tools, please provide the full command line

If code is involved, create a small "Reproducer" sample and attach it to the message

 

Here, tool version is the version of OpenVINO.

Can you share how you are looking to target Intel Graphics with OpenVINO through a source code example?

Can you share the protobufs and openvino models? Where are you targeting each run and through what engine stacks?... Can you clarify what you're trying to compare for performance, where it's running and with what stacks?

Also, please don't share any privileged source or data. Thanks!

Hi MichaelC,

 

Thanks for the response.

 

I've installed openCL through the directions on the best reponse of this form post here.

I then installed clinfo through

sudo apt install clinfo

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS. Since I've installed based on the forum post, looks like the graphics driver version is 18.43. My OpenVINO version is 2019.1.133.

 

A short snippet of how I'm attempting to target the Intel GPU is:

load_time = time.time()
	plugin = IEPlugin(device='GPU')
	net = IENetwork(model=model_xml, weights=model_bin)

	input_blob = next(iter(net.inputs))
	out_blob = next(iter(net.outputs))

	net.batch_size = inputs_count

	exec_net = plugin.load(network=net)
	del net



	out_node_name = 'layer_out_1/MatMul'
	print(time.time() - load_time)


	total_time = 0; 


	for i in range(100):
		t1 = time.time()

		res = exec_net.infer(inputs={input_blob: images})
		y_pred = res[out_node_name]

		t2 = time.time()
		delta_time = t2 - t1
		total_time += delta_time


	avg_time = total_time / n_time_inference    
	print(avg_time)
	print(len(images)/avg_time)

I unfortunately cannot share the protobufs and openvino models, and am unsure about how to report back on what engine stacks are being used. Sorry about that. When testing the protobuf file to compare performance, I'm using

		t1 = time.time()
		predictions = sess.run(out_tensor, {'import/layer_in_1:0': x_test_1})
		t2 = time.time()

to compare the times. Thanks again for your help.

 

Best,

Erik
