GstInference Benchmarks - Introduction

This wiki summarizes a series of benchmarks on different hardware platforms based on the run_benchmark.sh bash script that can be found in the official GstInference repository. The script is based on the following GStreamer pipeline:

#Script to run each model
run_all_models(){

  model_array=(inceptionv1 inceptionv2 inceptionv3 inceptionv4 tinyyolov2 tinyyolov3)
  model_upper_array=(InceptionV1 InceptionV2 InceptionV3 InceptionV4 TinyYoloV2 TinyYoloV3)
  input_array=(input input input input input/Placeholder inputs )
  output_array=(InceptionV1/Logits/Predictions/Reshape_1 Softmax InceptionV3/Predictions/Reshape_1 
  InceptionV4/Logits/Predictions add_8 output_boxes )

  mkdir -p logs/
  rm -f logs/*

  for ((i=0;i<${#model_array[@]};++i)); do
    echo Perf ${model_array[i]}
    gst-launch-1.0 \
    filesrc location=$VIDEO_PATH num-buffers=600 ! decodebin ! videoconvert ! \
    perf print-arm-load=true name=inputperf ! tee name=t t. ! videoscale ! queue ! net.sink_model t. ! queue ! net.sink_bypass \
    ${model_array[i]} backend=$BACKEND name=net backend::input-layer=${input_array[i]} backend::output-layer=${output_array[i]} \
    model-location="${MODELS_PATH}${model_upper_array[i]}_${INTERNAL_PATH}/graph_${model_array[i]}${EXTENSION}" \
    net.src_bypass ! perf print-arm-load=true name=outputperf ! videoconvert ! fakesink sync=false > logs/${model_array[i]}.log
  done

Video 1. Test benchmark video

x86

The Desktop PC had the following specifications:

• Intel(R) Core(TM) Core i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz
• 12 GB RAM
• Linux 4.15.0-106-generic x86_64 (Ubuntu 16.04)
• GStreamer 1.8.3

Jetson AGX Xavier

The Jetson Xavier power modes used were 2 and 6 (more information: Supported Modes and Power Efficiency)

• View current power mode:

$ sudo /usr/sbin/nvpmodel -q

• Change current power mode:

sudo /usr/sbin/nvpmodel -m x

Where x is the power mode ID (e.g. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).

Google Coral

The following benchmarks were performed on the Coral Dev Board.
