TensorRT Release 19.08

The NVIDIA container image for TensorRT, release 19.08, is available on NGC.

Contents of the TensorRT container

This container includes the following:
  • The TensorRT C++ samples and C++ API documentation. The samples can be built by running make in the /workspace/tensorrt/samples directory. The resulting executables are in the /workspace/tensorrt/bin directory. The C++ API documentation can be found in the /workspace/tensorrt/doc/html directory.
  • The TensorRT Python samples and Python API documentation. The Python samples can be found in the /workspace/tensorrt/samples/python directory. Many Python samples can be run using python <script.py> -d /workspace/tensorrt/data. For example:
    python caffe_resnet50.py -d /workspace/tensorrt/data
    The Python API documentation can be found in the /workspace/tensorrt/doc/python directory.
  • TensorRT 5.1.5
The container also includes the following:

Driver Requirements

Release 19.08 is based on NVIDIA CUDA 10.1.243, which requires NVIDIA Driver release 418.87. However, if you are running on Tesla (Tesla V100, Tesla P4, Tesla P40, or Tesla P100), you may use NVIDIA driver release 384.111+ or 410. The CUDA driver's compatibility package only supports particular drivers. For a complete list of supported drivers, see the CUDA Application Compatibility topic. For more information, see CUDA Compatibility and Upgrades.

GPU Requirements

Release 19.08 supports CUDA compute capability 3.0 and higher. This corresponds to GPUs in the Pascal, Volta, and Turing families. Specifically, for a list of GPUs that this compute capability corresponds to, see CUDA GPUs. For additional support details, see Deep Learning Frameworks Support Matrix.

Key Features and Enhancements

This TensorRT release includes the following key features and enhancements.

Obtaining Missing Data Files

Some samples require data files that are not included within the TensorRT container either due to licensing restrictions or because they are too large. Samples which do not include all the required data files include a README.md file in the corresponding source directory informing you how to obtain the necessary data files.

Installing Required Python Modules

You may need to first run the Python setup script in order to complete some of the samples. The following script has been added to the container to install the missing Python modules and their dependencies if desired: /opt/tensorrt/python/python_setup.sh

Limitations

Known Issues
