Detailed Description
Plugin class for user-implemented layers.
Plugins are a mechanism for applications to implement custom layers. This interface provides additional capabilities to the IPluginV2 interface by supporting different output data types and broadcast across batch.

Member Function Documentation
◆ attachToContext()
|
inlinevirtualnoexcept |
Attach the plugin object to an execution context and grant the plugin the access to some context resource.
- Parameters
-
cudnn The CUDNN context handle of the execution context cublas The cublas context handle of the execution context allocator The allocator used by the execution context
This function is called automatically for each plugin when a new execution context is created. If the context was created without resources, this method is not called until the resources are assigned. It is also called if new resources are assigned to the context.
If the plugin needs per-context resource, it can be allocated here. The plugin can also get context-owned CUDNN and CUBLAS context here.
- Note
- In the automotive safety context, the CUDNN and CUBLAS parameters will be nullptr because CUDNN and CUBLAS is not used by the safe runtime.
Usage considerations
- Allowed context for the API call
- Thread-safe: Yes, this method is required to be thread-safe and may be called from multiple threads when building networks on multiple devices sharing the same plugin.
◆ canBroadcastInputAcrossBatch()
|
pure virtualnoexcept |
Return true if plugin can use input that is broadcast across batch without replication.
- Parameters
-
inputIndex Index of input that could be broadcast.
For each input whose tensor is semantically broadcast across a batch, TensorRT calls this method before calling configurePlugin. If canBroadcastInputAcrossBatch returns true, TensorRT will not replicate the input tensor; i.e., there will be a single copy that the plugin should share across the batch. If it returns false, TensorRT will replicate the input tensor so that it appears like a non-broadcasted tensor.
This method is called only for inputs that can be broadcast.
Usage considerations
- Allowed context for the API call
- Thread-safe: Yes, this method is required to be thread-safe and may be called from multiple threads when building networks on multiple devices sharing the same plugin.
◆ clone()
|
overridepure virtualnoexcept |
Clone the plugin object. This copies over internal plugin parameters as well and returns a new plugin object with these parameters. If the source plugin is pre-configured with configurePlugin(), the returned object should also be pre-configured. The returned object should allow attachToContext() with a new execution context. Cloned plugin objects can share the same per-engine immutable resource (e.g. weights) with the source object (e.g. via ref-counting) to avoid duplication.
Usage considerations
- Allowed context for the API call
- Thread-safe: Yes, this method is required to be thread-safe and may be called from multiple threads when building networks on multiple devices sharing the same plugin.
Implements nvinfer1::IPluginV2.
Implemented in nvinfer1::IPluginV2DynamicExt.
◆ configurePlugin()
|
pure virtualnoexcept |
Configure the layer with input and output data types.
This function is called by the builder prior to initialize(). It provides an opportunity for the layer to make algorithm choices on the basis of its weights, dimensions, data types and maximum batch size.
- Parameters
-
inputDims The input tensor dimensions. nbInputs The number of inputs. outputDims The output tensor dimensions. nbOutputs The number of outputs. inputTypes The data types selected for the plugin inputs. outputTypes The data types selected for the plugin outputs. inputIsBroadcast True for each input that the plugin must broadcast across the batch. outputIsBroadcast True for each output that TensorRT will broadcast across the batch. floatFormat The format selected for the engine for the floating point inputs/outputs. maxBatchSize The maximum batch size.
The dimensions passed here do not include the outermost batch size (i.e. for 2-D image networks, they will be 3-dimensional CHW dimensions). When inputIsBroadcast or outputIsBroadcast is true, the outermost batch size for that input or output should be treated as if it is one. inputIsBroadcast[i] is true only if the input is semantically broadcast across the batch and canBroadcastInputAcrossBatch(i) returned true. outputIsBroadcast[i] is true only if isOutputBroadcastAcrossBatch(i) returns true.
- Warning
- for the floatFormat field, the values PluginFormat::kCHW4, PluginFormat::kCHW16, and PluginFormat::kCHW32 will not be passed in, this is to keep backward compatibility with TensorRT 5.x series. Use PluginV2IOExt or PluginV2DynamicExt for other PluginFormats.
Usage considerations
- Allowed context for the API call
- Thread-safe: Yes, this method is required to be thread-safe and may be called from multiple threads when building networks on multiple devices sharing the same plugin. However, TensorRT will not call this method from two threads simultaneously on a given clone of a plugin.
◆ configureWithFormat()
|
inlineoverrideprotectedvirtualnoexcept |
Derived classes should not implement this. In a C++11 API it would be override final.
Implements nvinfer1::IPluginV2.
◆ detachFromContext()
|
inlinevirtualnoexcept |
Detach the plugin object from its execution context.
This function is called automatically for each plugin when a execution context is destroyed or the context resources are unassigned from the context.
If the plugin owns per-context resource, it can be released here.
Usage considerations
- Allowed context for the API call
- Thread-safe: Yes, this method is required to be thread-safe and may be called from multiple threads when building networks on multiple devices sharing the same plugin.
◆ getOutputDataType()
|
pure virtualnoexcept |
Return the DataType of the plugin output at the requested index.
The default behavior should be to return the type of the first input, or DataType::kFLOAT if the layer has no inputs. The returned data type must have a format that is supported by the plugin.
- See also
- supportsFormat()
- Warning
- DataType:kBOOL not supported.
Usage considerations
- Allowed context for the API call
- Thread-safe: Yes, this method is required to be thread-safe and may be called from multiple threads when building networks on multiple devices sharing the same plugin.
◆ getTensorRTVersion()
|
inlineoverrideprotectedvirtualnoexcept |
Return the API version with which this plugin was built. The upper byte reserved by TensorRT and is used to differentiate this from IPluginV2.
Do not override this method as it is used by the TensorRT library to maintain backwards-compatibility with plugins.
Usage considerations
- Allowed context for the API call
- Thread-safe: Yes, the implementation provided here is safe to call from any thread.
Reimplemented from nvinfer1::IPluginV2.
Reimplemented in nvinfer1::IPluginV2IOExt.
◆ isOutputBroadcastAcrossBatch()
|
pure virtualnoexcept |
Return true if output tensor is broadcast across a batch.
- Parameters
-
outputIndex The index of the output inputIsBroadcasted The ith element is true if the tensor for the ith input is broadcast across a batch. nbInputs The number of inputs
The values in inputIsBroadcasted refer to broadcasting at the semantic level, i.e. are unaffected by whether method canBroadcastInputAcrossBatch requests physical replication of the values.
Usage considerations
- Allowed context for the API call
- Thread-safe: Yes, this method is required to be thread-safe and may be called from multiple threads when building networks on multiple devices sharing the same plugin.
