AIMET Tensorflow Quant Analyzer API
AIMET Tensorflow Quant Analyzer analyzes the Tensorflow model and points out sensitive ops to quantization in the model. It checks model sensitivity to weight and activation quantization, performs per op sensitivity and MSE analysis. It also exports per op encodings min and max ranges and statistics histogram for every op.
Top-level API
- class aimet_tensorflow.quant_analyzer.QuantAnalyzer(session, start_op_names, output_op_names, forward_pass_callback, eval_callback, use_cuda=True)[source]
- QuantAnalyzer tool provides
Model sensitivity to weight and activation quantization
Per layer encoding (min - max range) and PDF analysis
Per op sensitivity analysis
Per op MSE analysis
- Parameters:
session (
Session
) – The input model as session to add quantize ops tostart_op_names (
List
[str
]) – List of starting op names of the modeloutput_op_names (
List
[str
]) – List of output op names of the modelforward_pass_callback (
CallbackFunc
) – A callback function that is expected to run forward passes on a session. This callback function should use representative data for the forward pass, so the calculated encodings work for all data samples. This callback internally chooses the number of data samples it wants to use for calculating encodings.eval_callback (
CallbackFunc
) – A callback function for model evaluation that determines model performance. This callback function is expected to return scalar value representing the model performance evaluated against entire test/evaluation dataset.use_cuda (
bool
) – If True, places quantization ops on GPU. Defaults to True
- analyze(quant_scheme=QuantScheme.post_training_tf_enhanced, rounding_mode='nearest', default_param_bw=8, default_output_bw=8, config_file=None, unlabeled_dataset=None, num_batches=None, results_dir='./tmp/')[source]
- Analyze model for quantization and point out sensitive parts/hotspots of the model by performing
model sensitivity to quantization
export per layer encoding (min - max range)
export per layer statistics histogram (PDF) when quant scheme is TF-Enhanced
perform per op sensitivity analysis by enabling and disabling quant ops
per op MSE loss between fp32 and quantized output activations
- Parameters:
quant_scheme (
QuantScheme
) – Quantization Scheme, currently supported schemes are post_training_tf and post_training_tf_enhanced, defaults to post_training_tf_enhancedrounding_mode (
str
) – The round scheme to used. One of: ‘nearest’ or ‘stochastic’, defaults to ‘nearest’default_param_bw (
int
) – bitwidth to use for parameter tensors, defaults to 8default_output_bw (
int
) – bitwidth to use for activation tensors, defaults to 8config_file (
Optional
[str
]) – Path to a config file to use to specify rules for placing quant ops in the modelresults_dir (
str
) – Directory to save the results.unlabeled_dataset (
Optional
[DatasetV1
]) – Unlabeled TF dataset Used in per op MSE loss calculationnum_batches (
Optional
[int
]) – Number of batches. Approximately 256 samples/images are recommended, so if batch size of data loader is 64, then 4 number of batches leads to 256 samples/images Used in per op MSE loss calculation
