Low FPS on Jetson Nano using TensorRT

Hi,

I recently got my hands on Jetson Nano and deployed simple image classification which I created in keras with only 3 classes. I followed this blog to convert to tensorrt with FP32 precision.
I did inference using webcam, model loaded in approx. 14 secs and got avg. 7.5 FPS utilizing 1.5GB ram.
I also did inference using Tensorflow model, model loaded in approx. 4 mins and also for this I had to increase swapfile size to 6GB in order to meet it’s memory demand after utilizing it’s 4GB ram memory or else process would get killed. This tf model was giving avg. 17 FPS

The question is why TensorRT is not giving better FPS as it optimized, am I missing something?

Thanks

Hi,

It’s recommended to test your model with trtexec to see the optimal performance first.
Suppose you have generated the onnx format from the blog shared above, then please try these command:

$ sudo nvpmodel -m 0
$ sudo jetson_clocks
$ /usr/src/tensorrt/bin/trtexec --onnx=[your/model]
$ /usr/src/tensorrt/bin/trtexec --onnx=[your/model] --fp16

Thanks.

Hi,

Hi,

May I know how do you run the TensorRT inference of the original post?
It looks like your model is using the dynamic shape, is that correct?

Thanks.

Hi,

Here is the inference code

TRT_LOGGER = trt.Logger(trt.Logger.WARNING)
trt_runtime = trt.Runtime(TRT_LOGGER)

serialized_plan_fp32 = "model/cnn_model.plan"
# image size used in training 
img_size = 228
HEIGHT = img_size
WIDTH = img_size

engine = eng.load_engine(trt_runtime, serialized_plan_fp32)
h_input, d_input, h_output, d_output, stream = inf.allocate_buffers(engine, 1, trt.float32)

vs = cv2.VideoCapture(0) 

while True:
	_, frame = vs.read()
	image = process_img(frame)

	pred = inf.do_inference(engine, image, h_input, d_input, h_output, d_output, stream, 1, HEIGHT, WIDTH)
		
	cv2.imshow("Frame", frame)
	key = cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF
 
	if key == ord("q"):
		break

cv2.destroyAllWindows()

To be honest I don’t know what dynamic shape is. Deep learning is still relatively new to me, I’m currently pursuing UG.

Thanks for your time.

Hi,

Could you share the source of do_inference?
If this is implemented in a library, would you mind to share which module do you import with us?

Thanks.

do_inference code is same as in above mentioned blog.

def do_inference(engine, pics_1, h_input_1, d_input_1, h_output, d_output, stream, batch_size, height, width):
   """
   This is the function to run the inference
   Args:
      engine : Path to the TensorRT engine 
      pics_1 : Input images to the model.  
      h_input_1: Input in the host         
      d_input_1: Input in the device 
      h_output_1: Output in the host 
      d_output_1: Output in the device 
      stream: CUDA stream

   """

   load_images_to_buffer(pics_1, h_input_1)

   with engine.create_execution_context() as context:
       # Transfer input data to the GPU.
       cuda.memcpy_htod_async(d_input_1, h_input_1, stream)

       # Run inference.

       context.profiler = trt.Profiler()
       context.execute(batch_size=1, bindings=[int(d_input_1), int(d_output)])

       # Transfer predictions back from the GPU.
       cuda.memcpy_dtoh_async(h_output, d_output, stream)
       # Synchronize the stream
       stream.synchronize()
       # Return the host output.
       out = h_output
       return out

Hi,

Sorry for the missing.

It looks like you already have an engine file model/cnn_model.plan.
So you can benchmark the inference with following command directly:

/usr/src/tensorrt/bin/trtexec --loadEngine=cnn_model.plan

Thanks.
