  • Training data: ImageNet-1k (ILSVRC 2012 classification)
  • Kernel libraries: cudnn_hacc, fvm_conv, fvm_extra, fvm_mb, fvm_r3
  • Variants: shufflenet_v2_x1_0.tv_in1k (default of shufflenet_v2_x1_0)
  • Outputs: logits; label_set: imagenet-1k
  • Input size: fixed 224x224: the input is resized (short side 256) and centre-cropped to it
  • Tested up to (portable, fp16, RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB): shufflenet_v2_x1_0.tv_in1k 224x224 (0.0 GiB peak allocated, 0.1 reserved)
  • shufflenet_v2_x1_0.tv_in1k 224x224, first call: portable + torch.compile 8 s (cold Inductor cache), TensorRT fp16 17 s (ONNX + engine).
  • shufflenet_v2_x1_0.tv_in1k original 224x224: torch.autocast(fp16) around the forward
  • shufflenet_v2_x1_0.tv_in1k load / first call: original 1.13 s / 1.146 s, portable 0.14 s / 0.016 s, kernels 1.55 s / 0.078 s
  • Protocol, median of 9 after 3 warm-up, uint8 CUDA input (synthetic for bench_inputs sizes), card defaults; gc before each load; peak = max over the first call and the timed calls

Measured

fastforks: the model's own resize / crop on the GPU; original: the library's pretrained loader and its PIL eval transform. Original = the original code named under Details, same checkpoint and protocol.

Parity

CPU, float32: max |diff| <= 0.002 vs the original. GPU, float16 (the default), portable and kernels: mean |diff| <= 0.02 and p99 <= 0.08 (absolute error of the output logits).
