--enable_small_channel

Description

Enables small channel tuning to yield performance benefits at convolutional layers with channel size ≤ 4.

You are advised to enable this function in inference scenarios.

See Also

You are advised to use this option in conjunction with the --insert_op_conf AIPP option to achieve better performance.

This option can only be used together with static AIPP and cannot work with dynamic AIPP, due to software restrictions.

Arguments

Arguments:

• 0: disabled
• 1: enabled

Default: 0

Restrictions: If the model input has a channel size ≤ 4, you are advised to use this option in conjunction with static AIPP (by setting --insert_op_conf) to obtain optimal performance. If the performance deteriorates instead, you are advised to perform Schedule tuning.

Suggestions and Benefits

None

Examples

--enable_small_channel=1

Dependencies and Restrictions

Usage Restrictions: This option should be used in conjunction with the --insert_op_conf AIPP option. Otherwise, there may be no benefits.
