To check installed pip version:

pip -V

Importing Conda Environment:

conda env create -f keras_environment.yml --name ${KERAS_ENV_NAME}

Note: pip version MUST be > 19.3

Activating Conda Environment:

conda activate ${KERAS_ENV_NAME}

Building and Installing Frontend:

python setup.py build

python setup.py install

Synopsis

python src/${BENCH_NAME}.py  [hpvm_reload|keras_reload]  [frontend|keras_dump] 

Parameters:

hpvm_reload : Reloads HPVM weights (format used in model_params found here: [ADD link to Google Drive]) from directory specified in Benchmark constructor.

keras_reload: Reloads weights in Keras .h5 file format

frontend: Invokes the HPVM frontend and dumps weights in directory specified in constructor

keras_dump: Dumps keras .h5 format model weights in directory specified in constructor

Building New Benchmarks

All benchmarks inherit from the commom parent Benchmark class. Each benchmark overrides virtual functions for building the model, training, inference, and data preprocessing.

def buildModel(self): returns a keras model

def data_preprocess(self): returns X_train, y_train, X_test, y_test, X_tuner, and y_tuner data — in that order; this data will be directly used later for training and inference

def trainModel(self, model, X_train, y_train, X_test, y_test): returns a trained keras model
