AIMET PyTorch AutoQuant API

Top-level API

Note

This module is also available in the experimental aimet_torch.v2 namespace with the same top-level API. To learn more about the differences between aimet_torch and aimet_torch.v2, please visit the QuantSim v2 Overview.

class aimet_torch.v1.auto_quant.AutoQuant(model, dummy_input, data_loader, eval_callback, param_bw=8, output_bw=8, quant_scheme=QuantScheme.post_training_tf_enhanced, rounding_mode='nearest', config_file=None, results_dir='/tmp', cache_id=None, strict_validation=True, model_prepare_required=True)[source]

Integrate and apply post-training quantization techniques.

AutoQuant includes 1) batchnorm folding, 2) cross-layer equalization, and 3) Adaround. These techniques will be applied in a best-effort manner until the model meets the evaluation goal given as allowed_accuracy_drop.

Parameters:

  • model (Module) – Model to be quantized. Assumes model is on the correct device

  • dummy_input (Union[Tensor, Tuple]) – Dummy input for the model. Assumes that dummy_input is on the correct device

  • data_loader (DataLoader) – A collection that iterates over an unlabeled dataset, used for computing encodings

  • eval_callback (Callable[[Module], float]) – Function that calculates the evaluation score

  • param_bw (int) – Parameter bitwidth

  • output_bw (int) – Output bitwidth

  • quant_scheme (QuantScheme) – Quantization scheme

  • rounding_mode (str) – Rounding mode

  • config_file (Optional[str]) – Path to configuration file for model quantizers

  • results_dir (str) – Directory to save the results of PTQ techniques

  • cache_id (Optional[str]) – ID associated with cache results

  • strict_validation (bool) – Flag set to True by default.hen False, AutoQuant will proceed with execution and handle errors internally if possible. This may produce unideal or unintuitive results.

  • model_prepare_required (bool) – Flag set to True by default.If False, AutoQuant will skip model prepare block in the pipeline.
