Quark ONNX Quantization Example#

This folder contains an example of quantizing a Resnet50-v1-12 image classification model using the ONNX quantizer of Quark. The example has the following parts:

Pip requirements#

Install the necessary python packages:

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Prepare data and model#

ILSVRC 2012, commonly known as ‘ImageNet’. This dataset provides access to ImageNet (ILSVRC) 2012 which is the most commonly used subset of ImageNet. This dataset spans 1000 object classes and contains 50,000 validation images.

If you already have an ImageNet datasets, you can directly use your dataset path.

To prepare the test data, please check the download section of the main website: https://huggingface.co/datasets/imagenet-1k/tree/main/data. You need to register and download val_images.tar.gz.

Then, create the validation dataset and calibration dataset:

mkdir val_data && tar -xzf val_images.tar.gz -C val_data
python prepare_data.py val_data calib_data

The storage format of the val_data of the ImageNet dataset organized as follows:

  • val_data

    • n01440764

      • ILSVRC2012_val_00000293.JPEG

      • ILSVRC2012_val_00002138.JPEG

      • …

    • n01443537

      • ILSVRC2012_val_00000236.JPEG

      • ILSVRC2012_val_00000262.JPEG

      • …

    • …

    • n15075141

      • ILSVRC2012_val_00001079.JPEG

      • ILSVRC2012_val_00002663.JPEG

      • …

The storage format of the calib_data of the ImageNet dataset organized as follows:

  • calib_data

    • n01440764

      • ILSVRC2012_val_00000293.JPEG

    • n01443537

      • ILSVRC2012_val_00000236.JPEG

    • …

    • n15075141

      • ILSVRC2012_val_00001079.JPEG

Finally, download the onnx float model from onnx/models repo.

wget -P models https://github.com/onnx/models/raw/new-models/vision/classification/resnet/model/resnet50-v1-12.onnx

Model Quantization#

The quantizer takes the float model and produce a quantized model.

python quantize_model.py --input_model_path models/resnet50-v1-12.onnx \
                         --output_model_path models/resnet50-v1-12_quantized.onnx \
                         --calibration_dataset_path calib_data

This command will generate a quantized model under the models folder, which was quantized by XINT8 configuration (Int8 symmetric quantization using power-of-2 scale).

Evaluation#

Test the accuracy of the float model on ImageNet val dataset:

python onnx_validate.py val_data --batch-size 1 --onnx-input models/resnet50-v1-12.onnx

Test the accuracy of the quantized model on ImageNet val dataset:

python onnx_validate.py val_data --batch-size 1 --onnx-input models/resnet50-v1-12_quantized.onnx
