TNN
TNN es un framework de inferencia de deep learning diseñado para ejecutar redes neuronales preentrenadas en hardware móvil, de escritorio y servidor. Funciona como un runtime acelerado por hardware y un kit de herramientas de compresión de modelos, proporcionando una interfaz unificada para desplegar modelos en diversos entornos.
El framework incluye un convertidor de modelos ONNX para transformar modelos de varios frameworks de entrenamiento a un formato interno estandarizado. Se distingue por una combinación de herramientas de compresión de modelos —incluyendo cuantización de pesos y poda de código estático— y un sistema de gestión de memoria que reutiliza buffers entre nodos no dependientes para reducir el uso de RAM.
El sistema optimiza el rendimiento mediante la fusión de operadores para minimizar el acceso a la memoria y emplea backends específicos de plataforma para aprovechar procesadores especializados y GPUs. Aumenta aún más la velocidad de ejecución mediante cálculos de baja precisión y ajustes específicos de hardware.
