Install Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit for Linux* from a Docker* Image

The Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit quickly deploys applications and solutions that emulate human vision. Based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), the toolkit extends computer vision (CV) workloads across Intel® hardware, maximizing performance. The Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit includes the Intel® Deep Learning Deployment Toolkit.

This guide provides the steps for creating a Docker* image with Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit for Linux* and further installation.

System Requirements

Target Operating Systems

• Ubuntu* 18.04 long-term support (LTS), 64-bit

Host Operating Systems

• Linux with installed GPU driver and with Linux kernel supported by GPU driver

Use Docker* Image for CPU

• Kernel reports the same information for all containers as for native application, for example, CPU, memory information.
• All instructions that are available to host process available for process in container, including, for example, AVX2, AVX512. No restrictions.
• Docker* does not use virtualization or emulation. The process in Docker* is just a regular Linux process, but it is isolated from external world on kernel level. Performance penalty is small.

Build a Docker* Image for CPU

To build a Docker image, create a Dockerfile that contains defined variables and commands required to create an OpenVINO toolkit installation image.

Create your Dockerfile using the following example as a template:

: Please replace direct link to the Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit package to the latest version in the package_url argument. You can copy the link from the Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit download page after registration. Right click on Offline Installer button on the download page for Linux in your browser and press Copy link address.

You can select which OpenVINO components will be installed by modifying COMPONENTS parameter in the silent.cfg file. For example to install only CPU runtime for the Inference Engine, set COMPONENTS=intel-openvino-ie-rt-cpu__x86_64 in silent.cfg.

To get a full list of available components for installation, run the ./install.sh --list_components command from the unpacked OpenVINO™ toolkit package.

To build a Docker* image for CPU, run the following command:

docker build . -t <image_name> \
--build-arg HTTP_PROXY=<http://your_proxy_server.com:port> \
--build-arg HTTPS_PROXY=<https://your_proxy_server.com:port>

Run the Docker* Image for CPU

Run the image with the following command:

docker run -it <image_name>

Use a Docker* Image for GPU

Build a Docker* Image for GPU

Prerequisites:

• GPU is not available in container by default, you must attach it to the container.
• Kernel driver must be installed on the host.
• Intel® OpenCL™ runtime package must be included into the container.
• In the container, user must be in the video group.

Before building a Docker* image on GPU, add the following commands to the Dockerfile example for CPU above:

WORKDIR /tmp/opencl
RUN usermod -aG video openvino
RUN apt-get update && \
    apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends ocl-icd-libopencl1 && \
    rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* && \
    curl -L "https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/releases/download/19.41.14441/intel-gmmlib_19.3.2_amd64.deb" --output "intel-gmmlib_19.3.2_amd64.deb" && \
    curl -L "https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/releases/download/19.41.14441/intel-igc-core_1.0.2597_amd64.deb" --output "intel-igc-core_1.0.2597_amd64.deb" && \
    curl -L "https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/releases/download/19.41.14441/intel-igc-opencl_1.0.2597_amd64.deb" --output "intel-igc-opencl_1.0.2597_amd64.deb" && \
    curl -L "https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/releases/download/19.41.14441/intel-opencl_19.41.14441_amd64.deb" --output "intel-opencl_19.41.14441_amd64.deb" && \
    curl -L "https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/releases/download/19.41.14441/intel-ocloc_19.04.12237_amd64.deb" --output "intel-ocloc_19.04.12237_amd64.deb" && \
    dpkg -i /tmp/opencl/*.deb && \
    ldconfig && \
    rm /tmp/opencl

To build a Docker* image for GPU, run the following command:

docker build . -t <image_name> \
--build-arg HTTP_PROXY=<http://your_proxy_server.com:port> \
--build-arg HTTPS_PROXY=<https://your_proxy_server.com:port>

Run the Docker* Image for GPU

To make GPU available in the container, attach the GPU to the container using --device /dev/dri option and run the container:

docker run -it --device /dev/dri <image_name>

Use a Docker* Image for Intel® Neural Compute Stick 2

Build a Docker* Image for Intel® Neural Compute Stick 2

Build a Docker image using the same steps as for CPU.

Run the Docker* Image for Intel® Neural Compute Stick 2

Known limitations:

• Intel® Neural Compute Stick 2 device changes its VendorID and DeviceID during execution and each time looks for a host system as a brand new device. It means it cannot be mounted as usual.
• UDEV events are not forwarded to the container by default it does not know about device reconnection.
• Only one device per host is supported.

Use one of the following options to run Possible solutions for Intel® Neural Compute Stick 2:

• Solution #1:
  1. Get rid of UDEV by rebuilding libusb without UDEV support in the Docker* image (add the following commands to the Dockerfile example for CPU above):
     

RUN usermod -aG users openvino
WORKDIR /opt
RUN curl -L https://github.com/libusb/libusb/archive/v1.0.22.zip --output v1.0.22.zip && \
    unzip v1.0.22.zip

WORKDIR /opt/libusb-1.0.22
RUN ./bootstrap.sh && \
    ./configure --disable-udev --enable-shared && \
    make -j4
RUN apt-get update && \
    apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends libusb-1.0-0-dev=2:1.0.21-2 && \
    rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

WORKDIR /opt/libusb-1.0.22/libusb
RUN /bin/mkdir -p '/usr/local/lib' && \
    /bin/bash ../libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c   libusb-1.0.la '/usr/local/lib' && \
    /bin/mkdir -p '/usr/local/include/libusb-1.0' && \
    /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 libusb.h '/usr/local/include/libusb-1.0' && \
    /bin/mkdir -p '/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig'

WORKDIR /opt/libusb-1.0.22/
RUN /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 libusb-1.0.pc '/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig' && \
    ldconfig

2. Run the Docker* image:
```sh docker run --device-cgroup-rule='c 189:* rmw' -v /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb ```

• Solution #2: Run container in privileged mode, enable Docker network configuration as host, and mount all devices to container:
  

docker run --privileged -v /dev:/dev --network=host <image_name>

Notes:

• It is not secure
• Conflicts with Kubernetes* and other tools that use orchestration and private networks

Use a Docker* Image for Intel® Vision Accelerator Design with Intel® Movidius™ VPUs

Build Docker* Image for Intel® Vision Accelerator Design with Intel® Movidius™ VPUs

To use the Docker container for inference on Intel® Vision Accelerator Design with Intel® Movidius™ VPUs:

1. Set up the environment on the host machine, that is going to be used for running Docker*. It is required to execute hddldaemon, which is responsible for communication between the HDDL plugin and the board. To learn how to set up the environment (the OpenVINO package must be pre-installed), see Configuration Guide for Intel® Vision Accelerator Design with Intel® Movidius™ VPUs.
2. Prepare the Docker* image. As a base image, you can use the image from the section Building Docker Image for CPU. To use it for inference on Intel® Vision Accelerator Design with Intel® Movidius™ VPUs you need to rebuild the image with adding the following dependencies:

RUN apt-get update && \
    apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
        libboost-filesystem1.65-dev=1.65.1+dfsg-0ubuntu5 \
        libboost-thread1.65-dev=1.65.1+dfsg-0ubuntu5 \
        libjson-c3=0.12.1-1.3 libxxf86vm-dev=1:1.1.4-1 && \
    rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

3. Run hddldaemon on the host in a separate terminal session using the following command:

$HDDL_INSTALL_DIR/hddldaemon

Run the Docker* Image for Intel® Vision Accelerator Design with Intel® Movidius™ VPUs

To run the built Docker* image for Intel® Vision Accelerator Design with Intel® Movidius™ VPUs, use the following command:

docker run --device=/dev/ion:/dev/ion -v /var/tmp:/var/tmp -ti <image_name>

Note

:

• The device /dev/ion need to be shared to be able to use ion buffers among the plugin, hddldaemon and the kernel.
• Since separate inference tasks share the same HDDL service communication interface (the service creates mutexes and a socket file in /var/tmp), /var/tmp needs to be mounted and shared among them.

In some cases, the ion driver is not enabled (for example, due to a newer kernel version or iommu incompatibility). lsmod | grep myd_ion returns empty output. To resolve, use the following command:

docker run --rm --net=host -v /var/tmp:/var/tmp –ipc=host  -ti <image_name>

Note

:

• When building docker images, create a user in the docker file that has the same UID and GID as the user which runs hddldaemon on the host.
• Run the application in the docker with this user.
• Alternatively, you can start hddldaemon with the root user on host, but this approach is not recommended.

Use a Docker* Image for FPGA

Intel will be transitioning to the next-generation programmable deep-learning solution based on FPGAs in order to increase the level of customization possible in FPGA deep-learning. As part of this transition, future standard releases (i.e., non-LTS releases) of Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit will no longer include the Intel® Vision Accelerator Design with an Intel® Arria® 10 FPGA and the Intel® Programmable Acceleration Card with Intel® Arria® 10 GX FPGA.

Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit 2020.3.X LTS release will continue to support Intel® Vision Accelerator Design with an Intel® Arria® 10 FPGA and the Intel® Programmable Acceleration Card with Intel® Arria® 10 GX FPGA. For questions about next-generation programmable deep-learning solutions based on FPGAs, please talk to your sales representative or contact us to get the latest FPGA updates.

For instructions for previous releases with FPGA Support, see documentation for the 2020.4 version or lower.

Examples

• ubuntu18_runtime dockerfile - Can be used to build OpenVINO™ runtime image containing minimal dependencies needed to use OpenVINO™ in production environment.
• ubuntu18_dev dockerfile - Can be used to build OpenVINO™ developer image containing full OpenVINO™ package to use in development environment.
