I recently upgraded from TensorRT 6 to TensorRT 7 and noticed that the tensor output node data obtained, from the same input data, were slightly off (about a 2% difference from results of TensorRT 6 and 4% off from expected). After enabling the debug logger in TensoRT 7 and comparing to TensoRT 6, I found that the primary difference was that 2 of my Caffe Model layers (i.e. convolution and eltwise) were being fused together during the optimisation phase.
I therefore proceeded by specifically marking this convolution layer for capture, which allowed my TensorRT network to skip the fusion and gave me similar results to TensorRT 6.
I am confused why fusing 2 layers would yield such different results.
Environment
TensorRT 7: CUDA 10.2: CUDNN 7.6.5.32-1: Ubuntu 18.04 64 bit:
Can you try latest TRT 7.1 EA release and let us know if you are facing similar issue on latest TRT release as well?
If issue persist, please share the debug verbose logs.
Do you know where I can find the 7.1 EA release ? I am following the install page and searching for 7.1 release on the download Tensorrt 7x page but I am not finding the installs for 7.1.
Sorry, I missed to update this.
TRT 7.1 EA release are applicable to NVIDIA® Jetson™ Linux for Tegra™ users only.
Please stay tuned for new TRT release update.
Perfect, I will wait for TRT 7.1 on Ubuntu and test it. Following this I will post the logs if I still experience similar issues. For now I am at least able to by-pass the fusion by requesting to capture the output which is being fused.
Do you have a rough idea on when 7.1 EA will be available ?
I don’t have info regarding TRT 7.1 release dates. Will update you as soon as I get any updates.
Request you to please stay tuned to NVIDIA TRT website.
