Triton Inference Server

The Triton Inference Server provides a cloud inferencing solution optimized for both CPUs and GPUs. The server provides an inference service via an HTTP or GRPC endpoint, allowing remote clients to request inferencing for any model being managed by the server. For edge deployments, Triton Server is also available as a shared library with an API that allows the full functionality of the server to be included directly in an application.

What's New in 2.30.0

  • The dynamic batcher now accepts user-defined batching constraints, allowing users to specify custom batching strategies.
  • Relaxed Python client gRPC version requirement.
  • Refer to the 23.01 column of the Frameworks Support Matrix for container image versions on which the 23.01 inference server container is based.

Known Issues

  • In some rare cases Triton might overwrite input tensors while they are still in use which leads to corrupt input data being used for inference with TensorRT models. If you encounter accuracy issues with your TensorRT model, you can work-around the issue by enabling the output_copy_stream option in your model's configuration.

  • Some systems which implement malloc() may not release memory back to the operating system right away causing a false memory leak. This can be mitigated by using a different malloc implementation. Tcmalloc is installed in the Triton container and can be used by specifying the library in LD_PRELOAD.

  • When using a custom operator for the PyTorch backend, the operator may not be loaded due to undefined Python library symbols. This can be work-around by specifying Python library in LD_PRELOAD.

  • Auto-complete may cause an increase in server start time. To avoid a start time increase, users can provide the full model configuration and launch the server with --disable-auto-complete-config.

  • Auto-complete does not support PyTorch models due to lack of metadata in the model. It can only verify that the number of inputs and the input names matches what is specified in the model configuration. There is no model metadata about the number of outputs and datatypes. Related PyTorch bug: pytorch/pytorch#38273

  • Perf Analyzer stability criteria has been changed which may result in reporting instability for scenarios that were previously considered stable. This change has been made to improve the accuracy of Perf Analyzer results. If you observe this message, it can be resolved by increasing the --measurement-interval in the time windows mode or --measurement-request-count in the count windows mode.

  • Triton Client PIP wheels for ARM SBSA are not available from PyPI and pip will install an incorrect Jetson version of Triton Client library for Arm SBSA.

    The correct client wheel file can be pulled directly from the Arm SBSA SDK image and manually installed.

  • Traced models in PyTorch seem to create overflows when int8 tensor values are transformed to int32 on the GPU.

    Refer to pytorch/pytorch#66930 for more information.

  • Triton cannot retrieve GPU metrics with MIG-enabled GPU devices (A100 and A30).

  • Triton metrics might not work if the host machine is running a separate DCGM agent on bare-metal or in a container.

For edge deployments, Triton Server is also available as a shared library with an API that allows the full functionality of the server to be included directly in an application.

What's New in 2.25.0

  • New support for multiple cloud credentials has been enabled. This feature is in beta and is subject to change.

  • Models using custom backends which implement auto-complete configuration, can be loaded without explicit config.pbtxt file if they are named in form <model_name>.<backend_name>.

  • Users can specify a maximum memory limit when loading models onto the GPU with the new --model-load-gpu-limit tritonserver option and the TRITONSERVER_ServerOptionsSetModelLoadDeviceLimit C API function

  • Added new documentation, Performance Tuning, with a step by step guide to optimize models for production

  • From this release onwards Triton will default to TensorFlow version 2.X. TensorFlow version 1.X can still be manually specified via backend config.

  • PyTorch backend has improved performance by using a separate CUDA Stream for each model instance when the instance kind is GPU.

  • Refer to the 22.08 column of the Frameworks Support Matrix for container image versions on which the 22.08 inference server container is based.

  • Model Analyzer's profile subcommand now analyzes the results after Profile is completed. Usage of the Analyze subcommand is deprecated. See Model Analyzer's documentation for further details.

Known Issues

  • There is no Jetpack release for 22.08, the latest release is 22.07.

  • Auto-complete may cause an increase in server start time. To avoid a start time increase, users can provide the full model configuration and launch the server with --disable-auto-complete-config.

  • When auto-completing some model configs, backends may generate a model config even though there is not enough metadata (ex. Graphdef models for TensorFlow Backend). The user will see the model successfully load but fail to inference. In this case the user should provide the full model configuration for these models or use the --disable-auto-complete-config CLI option to show which models fail to load.

  • Auto-complete does not support PyTorch models due to lack of metadata in the model. It can only verify that the number of inputs and the input names matches what is specified in the model configuration. There is no model metadata about the number of outputs and datatypes. Related PyTorch bug: pytorch/pytorch#38273

  • Auto-complete is not supported in the OpenVINO backend

  • Perf Analyzer stability criteria has been changed which may result in reporting instability for scenarios that were previously considered stable. This change has been made to improve the accuracy of Perf Analyzer results. If you observe this message, it can be resolved by increasing the --measurement-interval in the time windows mode or --measurement-request-count in the count windows mode.

  • Triton Client PIP wheels for ARM SBSA are not available from PyPI and pip will install an incorrect Jetson version of Triton Client library for Arm SBSA.

    The correct client wheel file can be pulled directly from the Arm SBSA SDK image and manually installed.

  • Traced models in PyTorch seem to create overflows when int8 tensor values are transformed to int32 on the GPU.

    Refer to pytorch/pytorch#66930 for more information.

  • Triton cannot retrieve GPU metrics with MIG-enabled GPU devices (A100 and A30).

  • Triton metrics might not work if the host machine is running a separate DCGM agent on bare-metal or in a container.

  • Model Analyzer reported values for GPU utilization and GPU power are known to be inaccurate and generally lower than reality.

Triton Inference Server

The Triton Inference Server provides a cloud inferencing solution optimized for both CPUs and GPUs. The server provides an inference service via an HTTP or GRPC endpoint, allowing remote clients to request inferencing for any model being managed by the server. For edge deployments, Triton Server is also available as a shared library with an API that allows the full functionality of the server to be included directly in an application.

What's New in 2.24.0

  • Auto-Complete is enabled by default. The --strict-model-config option has been soft deprecated, use the new --disable-auto-complete-config CLI option instead.

  • New example backend demonstrating Business Logic Scripting in C++.

  • Users can provide values for "init_ops" in Tensorflow TF1.x GraphDef models through json file.

  • New asyncio compatible API to the Python GRPC/HTTP APIs.

  • Added thread pool to reduce service downtime for concurrently loading models. The thread pool size is configurable with the new --model-load-thread-count tritonserver option. You can find more information here.

  • Model Analyzer now doesn't require config.pbtxt file for models that can be auto-completed in Triton.

  • Refer to the 22.07 column of the Frameworks Support Matrix for container image versions on which the 22.07 inference server container is based.

Known Issues

  • JetPack release will be published later in the month in order to align with JetPack SDK public availability.

  • Auto-complete could cause an increase in server start time. To avoid a start time increase, users should provide the full model configuration.

  • When auto-completing some model configs, backends may generate a model config even though there is not enough metadata (ex. Graphdef models for Tensorflow Backend). The user will see the model successfully load but fail to inference. In this case the user should provide the full model configuration for these models or use the --disable-auto-complete-config CLI option to show which models fail to load.

  • Can't do autocomplete for PyTorch models, not enough metadata. Can only verify that the number of inputs is correct and the input names match what is specified in the model configuration. No info about number of outputs and datatypes. Related pytorch bug: pytorch/pytorch#38273.

  • Running inference on multiple TensorRT model instances in Triton may fail with signal(6). The issue is expected to be fixed in a future release. Details can be found at #4566.

  • Perf Analyzer stability criteria has been changed which may result in reporting instability for scenarios that were previously considered stable. This change has been made to improve the accuracy of Perf Analyzer results. If you observe this message, it can be resolved by increasing the --measurement-interval in the time windows mode or --measurement-request-count in the count windows mode.

  • Unlike previously noted, 22.07 is the last release that defaults to TensorFlow version 1. From 22.08 onwards Triton will change the default TensorFlow version to 2.X.

  • Triton PIP wheels for ARM SBSA are not available from PyPI and pip will install an incorrect Jetson version of Triton for Arm SBSA.

    The correct wheel file can be pulled directly from the Arm SBSA SDK image and manually installed.

  • Traced models in PyTorch seem to create overflows when int8 tensor values are transformed to int32 on the GPU.

    Refer to issue pytorch/pytorch#66930 for more information.

  • Triton cannot retrieve GPU metrics with MIG-enabled GPU devices (A100 and A30).

  • Triton metrics might not work if the host machine is running a separate DCGM agent on bare-metal or in a container.

  • Starting from 22.02, the Triton container, which uses the 22.02 or above PyTorch container, will report an error during model loading in the PyTorch backend when using scripted models that were exported in the legacy format (using our 19.09 or previous PyTorch NGC containers corresponding to PyTorch 1.2.0 or previous releases).

    To load the model successfully in Triton, you need to export the model again by using a recent version of PyTorch.

  • Model Analyzer reported values for GPU utilization and GPU power are known to be inaccurate and generally lower than reality

What's New In 2.21.0

  • Users can now specify a customized temp directory with the --tmp-dir argument to build.py during the container build.

  • Users can now send a raw binary request to eliminate the need for the specification of inference header.

  • Ensembles now recognize optional inputs.

  • Users can now add custom metrics to the existing Triton metrics endpoint in their custom backends and applications using the Triton C API. Documentation can be found here.

  • Official support for multiple cloud repositories. This includes the same as well as different cloud storage providers i.e. a single instance of Triton can load models from two S3 buckets, two GCS buckets and two Azure Storage containers.

  • ONNX Runtime backend now uses execution providers when available when autocomplete is enabled. This fixes the old behavior where it would always use the CPU execution provider.

  • The build.py and compose.py now support PyTorch and TensorFlow 1 backends for the CPU-only builds.

  • Refer to the 22.04 column of the Frameworks Support Matrix for container image versions on which the 22.04 inference server container is based.

You will need to re-export the model using a recent version of PyTorch to be able to load the model successfully in Triton.

  • To best ensure the security and reliability of our RPM and Debian package repositories, NVIDIA is updating and rotating the signing keys used by the apt, dnf/yum, and zypper package managers beginning April 27, 2022.
    Triton r22.04 and prior release branches have not updated these repository signing keys. Due to this users should expect package management errors when attempting to access or install packages from CUDA repositories.
    Please follow these recommendations to mitigate the issue.
    Please update your branches prior to building to include the updated signing key(s). These changes are captured in this commit.
