TensorRT OSS Release Changelog

10.6.0 GA - 2024-11-05

Key Feature and Updates:

  • Demo Changes

    • demoBERT: The use of fcPlugin in demoBERT has been removed.
    • demoBERT: All TensorRT plugins now used in demoBERT (CustomEmbLayerNormDynamic, CustomSkipLayerNormDynamic, and CustomQKVToContextDynamic) now have versions that inherit from IPluginV3 interface classes. The user can opt-in to use these V3 plugins by specifying --use-v3-plugins to the builder scripts.
      • Opting-in to use V3 plugins does not affect performance, I/O, or plugin attributes.
      • There is a known issue in the V3 (version 4) of CustomQKVToContextDynamic plugin from TensorRT 10.6.0, causing an internal assertion error if either the batch or sequence dimensions differ at runtime from the ones used to serialize the engine. See the “known issues” section of the TensorRT-10.6.0 release notes.
      • For smoother migration, the default behavior is still using the deprecated IPluginV2DynamicExt-derived plugins, when the flag: --use-v3-plugins isn't specified in the builder scripts. The flag --use-deprecated-plugins was added as an explicit way to enforce the default behavior, and is mutually exclusive with --use-v3-plugins.
    • demoDiffusion
      • Introduced BF16 and FP8 support for the Flux.1-dev pipeline.
      • Expanded FP8 support on Ada platforms.
      • Enabled LoRA adapter compatibility for SDv1.5, SDv2.1, and SDXL pipelines using Diffusers version 0.30.3.

  • Sample Changes

    • Added the Python sample quickly_deployable_plugins, which demonstrates quickly deployable Python-based plugin definitions (QDPs) in TensorRT. QDPs are a simple and intuitive decorator-based approach to defining TensorRT plugins, requiring drastically less code.

  • Plugin Changes

    • The fcPlugin has been deprecated. Its functionality has been superseded by the IMatrixMultiplyLayer that is natively provided by TensorRT.
    • Migrated IPluginV2-descendent version 1 of CustomEmbLayerNormDynamic, to version 6, which implements IPluginV3.
      • The newer versions preserve the attributes and I/O of the corresponding older plugin version.
      • The older plugin versions are deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

  • Parser Changes

    • Updated ONNX submodule version to 1.17.0.
    • Fixed issue where conditional layers were incorrectly being added.
    • Updated local function metadata to contain more information.
    • Added support for parsing nodes with Quickly Deployable Plugins.
    • Fixed handling of optional outputs.

  • Tool Updates

    • ONNX-Graphsurgeon updated to version 0.5.3
    • Polygraphy updated to 0.49.14.

21.07 - 2021-07-21

Identical to the TensorRT-OSS 8.0.1 Release.

8.0.1 - 2021-07-02

Added

  • Added support for the following ONNX operators: Celu, CumSum, EyeLike, GatherElements, GlobalLpPool, GreaterOrEqual, LessOrEqual, LpNormalization, LpPool, ReverseSequence, and SoftmaxCrossEntropyLoss details.
  • Rehauled Resize ONNX operator, now fully supporting the following modes:
    • Coordinate Transformation modes: half_pixel, pytorch_half_pixel, tf_half_pixel_for_nn, asymmetric, and align_corners.
    • Modes: nearest, linear.
    • Nearest Modes: floor, ceil, round_prefer_floor, round_prefer_ceil.
  • Added support for multi-input ONNX ConvTranpose operator.
  • Added support for 3D spatial dimensions in ONNX InstanceNormalization.
  • Added support for generic 2D padding in ONNX.
  • ONNX QuantizeLinear and DequantizeLinear operators leverage IQuantizeLayer and IDequantizeLayer.
    • Added support for tensor scales.
    • Added support for per-axis quantization.
  • Added EfficientNMS_TRT, EfficientNMS_ONNX_TRT plugins and experimental support for ONNX NonMaxSuppression operator.
  • Added ScatterND plugin.
  • Added TensorRT QuickStart Guide.
  • Added new samples: engine_refit_onnx_bidaf builds an engine from ONNX BiDAF model and refits engine with new weights, efficientdet and efficientnet samples for demonstrating Object Detection using TensorRT.
  • Added support for Ubuntu20.04 and RedHat/CentOS 8.3.
  • Added Python 3.9 support.

Changed

  • Update Polygraphy to v0.30.3.
  • Update ONNX-GraphSurgeon to v0.3.10.
  • Update Pytorch Quantization toolkit to v2.1.0.
  • Notable TensorRT API updates
    • TensorRT now declares API’s with the noexcept keyword. All TensorRT classes that an application inherits from (such as IPluginV2) must guarantee that methods called by TensorRT do not throw uncaught exceptions, or the behavior is undefined.
    • Destructors for classes with destroy() methods were previously protected. They are now public, enabling use of smart pointers for these classes. The destroy() methods are deprecated.
  • Moved RefitMap API from ONNX parser to core TensorRT.
  • Various bugfixes for plugins, samples and ONNX parser.
  • Port demoBERT to tensorflow2 and update UFF samples to leverage nvidia-tensorflow1 container.

Removed

  • IPlugin and IPluginFactory interfaces were deprecated in TensorRT 6.0 and have been removed in TensorRT 8.0. We recommend that you write new plugins or refactor existing ones to target the IPluginV2DynamicExt and IPluginV2IOExt interfaces. For more information, refer to Migrating Plugins From TensorRT 6.x Or 7.x To TensorRT 8.x.x.
    • For plugins based on IPluginV2DynamicExt and IPluginV2IOExt, certain methods with legacy function signatures (derived from IPluginV2 and IPluginV2Ext base classes) which were deprecated and marked for removal in TensorRT 8.0 will no longer be available.
  • Removed samplePlugin since it showcased IPluginExt interface, which is no longer supported in TensorRT 8.0.
  • Removed sampleMovieLens and sampleMovieLensMPS.
  • Removed Dockerfile for Ubuntu 16.04. TensorRT 8.0 debians for Ubuntu 16.04 require python 3.5 while minimum required python version for TensorRT OSS is 3.6.
  • Removed support for PowerPC builds, consistent with TensorRT GA releases.

Notes

  • We had deprecated the Caffe Parser and UFF Parser in TensorRT 7.0. They are still tested and functional in TensorRT 8.0, however, we plan to remove the support in a future release. Ensure you migrate your workflow to use tf2onnx, keras2onnx or TensorFlow-TensorRT (TF-TRT).
