This new feature allows onnxruntime-web users to use tensors created from GPU as model input/output so that a model inferencing can be done without unnecessary data copy between CPU and GPU for model input/output. ### Examples An E2E demo/example is being worked on. Following is some simple demo with code snippet. Let's first check today how we do: ```js // STEP.1 - create an inference session: const mySession = await ort.InferenceSession.create('./my_model.onnx', { executionProviders: ['webgpu'] }); // STEP.2 - create model input: (supposing myImageCpuData is a Float32Array) const feeds = { 'input_image:0': new ort.Tensor('float32', myImageCpuData, [1, 224, 224, 3]) }; // STEP.3 - run model const myResults = await mySession.run(feeds); // STEP.4 - get output data const myData = myResults['output_image:0'].data; // Float32Array ``` #### for inputs (GPU tensor): Now, with IO binding, you can create a tensor from a GPU buffer, and feed it to the model: ```js // new STEP.2.A - create model input from a GPU buffer: (supposing myInputGpuBuffer is a `GPUBuffer` object with input data) const feeds = { 'input_image:0': ort.Tensor.fromGpuBuffer(myInputGpuBuffer, { dataType: 'float32', dims: [1, 224, 224, 3] }) }; ``` ### for outputs (pre-allocated GPU tensor) you can also do that for output, **if you know the output shape**: ```js // new STEP.2.B - create model output from a GPU buffer: (supposing myOutputGpuBuffer is a pre-allocated `GPUBuffer` object) const fetches = { 'output_image:0': ort.Tensor.fromGpuBuffer(myOutputGpuBuffer, { dataType: 'float32', dims: [1, 512, 512, 3] }) }; // new STEP.3 - run model with pre-allocated output (fetches) const myResults = await mySession.run(feeds, fetches); ``` ### for outputs (specify location) if you do not know the output shape, you can specify the output location when creating the session: ```js // new STEP.1 - create an inference session with an option "preferredOutputLocation": const mySession = await ort.InferenceSession.create('./my_model.onnx', { executionProviders: ['webgpu'], preferredOutputLocation: "gpu-buffer" }); ``` if the model has multiple outputs, you can specify them seperately: ```js // new STEP.1 - create an inference session with an option "preferredOutputLocation": const mySession = await ort.InferenceSession.create('./my_model.onnx', { executionProviders: ['webgpu'], preferredOutputLocation: { "output_image:0": "gpu-buffer" } }); ``` now you don't need to prepare the `fetches` object and onnxruntime-web will prepare output data on the location that specified. #### read data when you get the output tensor, you can: ```js // get the gpu buffer object: const gpuBuffer = myOutputTensor.gpuBuffer; // GPUBuffer // get the CPU data asynchronizely const cpuData = await myOutputTensor.getData(); // get the CPU data asynchronizely and release the underlying GPU resources const cpuData = await myOutputTensor.getData(true); // dispose the tensor (release the underlying GPU resources). This tensor object will be invalid after dispose() is called. myOutputTensor.dispose(); ``` #### resource management JavaScript has GC so you don't need to worry about managing JavaScript objects. But there are 2 types of resources that are not managed by GC: - GPU buffer that used in tensors - Underlying ORT native resources To simplify, most of the unmanaged resources and handled inside ORT web. But there are a few resources that need users to manage: - All external GPU resources, including GPU buffers inside all tensors created by `Tensor.fromGpuBuffer()`, will not be managed by ORT. User should manage those GPU buffers themselves. - When a session is created with `preferredOutputLocation` == "gpu-buffer" specified in session options, and the corresponding output is not pre-allocated, user need to call the output tensor's `dispose()` or `getData(true)` to manually release the underlying GPU buffers. - ORT internal errors (including providing a pre-allocated output tensor with wrong type/dims) will invalidate the whole wasm memory and is not recoverable. An exception is thrown in this situation. |

ONNX Runtime is a cross-platform inference and training machine-learning accelerator.
ONNX Runtime inference can enable faster customer experiences and lower costs, supporting models from deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch and TensorFlow/Keras as well as classical machine learning libraries such as scikit-learn, LightGBM, XGBoost, etc. ONNX Runtime is compatible with different hardware, drivers, and operating systems, and provides optimal performance by leveraging hardware accelerators where applicable alongside graph optimizations and transforms.
