Bert Benchmark Python* Sample

@sphinxdirective

This sample demonstrates how to estimate performance of a Bert model using Asynchronous Inference Request API. Unlike :doc:demos <omz_demos> this sample doesn't have configurable command line arguments. Feel free to modify sample's source code to try out different options.

The following Python API is used in the application:

+--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------+ | Feature | API | Description | +================================+=================================================+==============================================+ | OpenVINO Runtime Version | [openvino.runtime.get_version] | Get Openvino API version. | +--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------+ | Basic Infer Flow | [openvino.runtime.Core], | Common API to do inference: compile a model. | | | [openvino.runtime.Core.compile_model] | | +--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------+ | Asynchronous Infer | [openvino.runtime.AsyncInferQueue], | Do asynchronous inference. | | | [openvino.runtime.AsyncInferQueue.start_async], | | | | [openvino.runtime.AsyncInferQueue.wait_all] | | +--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------+ | Model Operations | [openvino.runtime.CompiledModel.inputs] | Get inputs of a model. | +--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------+

How It Works ####################

The sample downloads a model and a tokenizer, export the model to onnx, reads the exported model and reshapes it to enforce dynamic input shapes, compiles the resulting model, downloads a dataset and runs benchmarking on the dataset.

You can see the explicit description of each sample step at :doc:Integration Steps <openvino_docs_OV_UG_Integrate_OV_with_your_application> section of "Integrate OpenVINO™ Runtime with Your Application" guide.

Running ####################

Install the openvino Python package:

.. code-block:: sh

python -m pip install openvino

Install packages from requirements.txt:

.. code-block:: sh

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Run the sample

.. code-block:: sh

python bert_benchmark.py

Sample Output ####################

The sample outputs how long it takes to process a dataset.
