NXP iMX8基于eIQ框架测试Machine Learning

By Toradex秦海

1). 简介

随着嵌入式处理器性能的提升甚至一些嵌入式处理器已经开始集成针对人工智能和机器学习的硬件加速单元NPU,机器学习应用在嵌入式边缘设备的应用也慢慢展现。为此,NXP也发布了eIQ for i.MX软件工具包,用于在NXP的i.MX系列嵌入式处理器上面来支持目前比较常见的各种机器学习推理引擎,比如TensorFlow、Caffe等,具体的支持情况可以参考下图,其中ArmNN、TensorFlowLite、ONNX可以支持GPU/NPU硬件加速,而OpenCV和PyTorch目前只支持在CPU运行。

NXP eIQ协议栈通过Neural Network Runtime (NNRT)模块来对不同的前端Runtime进行硬件加速支持,具体的架构可以参考下图,对于很多机器学习算法场景,通过硬件加速引擎可以很大提升算法推理性能。

本文的演示的平台来自于Toradex Apalis iMX8 ARM嵌入式平台,这是一个基于NXP iMX8QM ARM处理器,支持Cortex-A72+A53和Coretex-M4架构的计算机模块平台。

 

 

2). 准备

a). Apalis iMX8QM 4GB WB IT ARM核心版配合Ioxra 载板,连接调试串口UART1(载板X22)到开发主机方便调试。载板连接HDMI显示器。

 

 

3). Apalis iMX8 Ycoto Linux 编译部署以及配置

a). Apalis iMX8 Ycoto Linux 通过Ycoto/Openembedded 框架编译,具体的配置方法请参考这里,参考如下修改后编译Reference-Multimedia image镜像

./ iMX8 Ycoto layer 中默认没有包含NXP Machine Learning和OpenCV 4.4.0版本支持,因此首先需要通过下面修改添加相关layer,详细的NXP Ycoto指南请参考i.MX Yocto Project User's Guide Rev. L5.4.70_2.3.0

b). Ycoto Linux image部署

参考这里通过Toradex Easy installer将上面编译好的image更新部署到模块,目前最新稳定版本为Ycoto Linux V5.1,最新测试版本为Ycoto Linux V5.2

 

 

4). TensorFlow Lite 测试

a). NXP iMX8 eIQ TensorFlow Lite 支持特性和协议栈框图如下

./ TensorFlow Lite v2.3.1

./ Multithreaded computation with acceleration using Arm Neon SIMD instructions on Cortex-A cores

./ Parallel computation using GPU/NPU hardware acceleration (on shader or convolution units)

./ C++ and Python API (supported Python version 3)

./ Per-tensor and Per-channel quantized models support

$ cd /usr/bin/tensorflow-lite-2.3.1/examples/

 

### Run on CPU

c). 更多示例和benchmark测试,C++ API应用开发以及当前eIQ对于TensorFlow Lite不同模型的限制等更多信息可以参考NXP i.MX Machine Learning User's Guide Rev. L5.4.70_2.3.0 Chapter 3 TensorFlow Lite,从上面简单测试可以看出NPU加速下mobilenet 模型要比CPU运行性能更好。

 

 

5). Arm Compute Library 测试

a). ACL(ARM-Compute Library)是专为ARM CPU & GPU优化设计的计算机视觉和机器学习库,基于NEON & OpenCL支持的 SIMD 技术,但在iMX8平台目前只支持CPU NEON加速,另外因为其为ARM NN架构的计算引擎,因此一般来说建议直接使用ARM NN。NXP iMX8 eIQ ACL支持特性如下

./ Arm Compute Library 20.02.01

./ Multithreaded computation with acceleration using Arm Neon SIMD instructions on Cortex-A cores

./ C++ API only

./ Low-level control over computation

 

b). 示例应用测试

./ Image预装的ACL测试示例应用位置

/usr/share/arm-compute-library/build/examples

 

./ MobileNet v2 DNN model,随机输入量测试

-------------------------------

$ cd /usr/share/arm-compute-library/build/examples

 

$ ./graph_mobilenet_v2

c). 更多示例测试和参数说明可以参考NXP i.MX Machine Learning User's Guide Rev. L5.4.70_2.3.0 Chapter 4 Arm Compute Library。

 

 

6). Arm NN 测试

a). Arm NN是适用于CPU,GPU和NPU的开源推理引擎,该软件桥接了现有神经网络框架(例如 TensorFlow 、TensorFlow Lite、Caffe或 ONNX)与在嵌入式 Linux 平台上运行的底层处理硬件(例如 CPU、GPU 或NPU)。这样,开发人员能够继续使用他们首选的框架和工具,经 Arm NN 无缝转换结果后可在底层平台上运行,NXP iMX8 eIQ ARM NN支持特性和协议栈框图如下

./ Arm NN 20.02.01

./ Multithreaded computation with acceleration using Arm Neon SIMD instructions on Cortex-A cores provided by the ACL

Neon backend

./ Parallel computation using GPU/NPU hardware acceleration (on shader or convolution units) provided by the VSI

NPU backend

./ C++ and Python API (supported Python version 3)

./ Supports multiple input formats (TensorFlow, TensorFlow Lite, Caffe, ONNX)

./ Off-line tools for serialization, deserialization, and quantization (must be built from source)

b). Apalis iMX8 $Home 目录下创建如下测试使用目录以供后续测试使用

-------------------------------

$ mkdir ArmnnTests

$ cd ArmnnTests

$ mkdir data

$ mkdir models

-------------------------------

 

c). Caffe示例应用测试

输入数据、模型配置文件 - /usr/share/opencv4/testdata/dnn

 

./ Image classification DNN示例应用测试

-------------------------------

### 从这里下载,模型文件squeezenet_v1.1.caffemodel和配置文件model.yml复制到 /usr/share/OpenCV/samples/bin

### 复制数据文件到执行目录

$ cp /usr/share/opencv4/testdata/dnn/dog416.png /usr/share/OpenCV/samples/bin/

$ cp /usr/share/opencv4/testdata/dnn/squeezenet_v1.1.prototxt /usr/share/OpenCV/samples/bin/

$ cp /usr/share/OpenCV/samples/data/dnn/classification_classes_ILSVRC2012.txt /usr/share/OpenCV/samples/bin/

 

$ cd /usr/share/OpenCV/samples/bin/

### Run with default image

$ ./example_dnn_classification --input=dog416.png --zoo=models.yml squeezenet

 

### Run with actual camera(/dev/video2) input

./example_dnn_classification --device=2 --zoo=models.yml squeezenet

NXP iMX8基于eIQ框架测试Machine Learning_第6张图片

9). 总结

本文基于NXP eIQ 机器学习工具库在iMX8嵌入式平台简单演示了多种机器学习推理引擎示例应用,并简单对比了CPU NEON和GPU进行模型推理的性能表现,实际进行相关应用开发的时候还会遇到很多学习模型到实际推理模型转换的问题,本文就不做涉及。
