Description

Finds all quantizable layers in a graph, creates a quantization configuration file, and writes the quantization configuration of the quantizable layers to the configuration file.

Prototype

create_quant_retrain_config(config_file, model, input_data, config_defination=None)

Parameters

Parameter

Input/Output

Description

config_file

Input

Path (including the file name) of the QAT configuration file. The existing file (if any) in the path will be overwritten upon this API call.

A string.

model

Input

Original model for QAT, with weights loaded.

A torch.nn.Module.

input_data

Input

Input data of the model. A torch.tensor is replaced with an equivalent tuple(torch.tensor).

A tuple.

config_defination

Input

Simplified configuration file.

The simplified configuration file quant.cfg is generated based on the retrain_config_pytorch.proto file. The *.proto file is stored in /amct_pytorch/proto/ under the AMCT installation directory. For details about the parameters in the *.proto file and the generated simplified quantization configuration file quant.cfg, see Simplified QAT Configuration File.

Default: None

A string.

Returns

None

import amct_pytorch as amct
# Build a graph of the network to be quantized.
model = build_model()
model.load_state_dict(torch.load(state_dict_path))
input_data = tuple([torch.randn(input_shape)])
 
# Create a quantization configuration file.
amct.create_quant_retrain_config(config_file="./configs/config.json",
                            model=model,
                            input_data=input_data)

Flush file: a quantization configuration file in JSON format. The following is an example. (The configuration file output by this API will be overwritten when QAT is performed again.) For details about the parameters, see Quantization Configuration File.
