Key Updates

General

  • Reduced Operator Kernel build allows ORT binaries to be built with only required operators in the model(s) - learn more
  • [Preview] ORT for Mobile Platforms - minimizes build size for mobile and embedded devices - learn more
  • Transformer model inferencing performance optimizations
    • Perf improvement for DistilBERT
    • Benchmark tool supports more pretrained models
  • Improvements in quantization tool
    • Support quantization-aware training models
    • Make calibration tool to support general preprocessing and calibrate on input
    • Simplify the quantization APIs
    • Support of model larger than 2G
  • New operators for static quantization: QLinearMul, QLinearAdd, QlinearSigmoid and QLinearLeakyRelu
  • Prepack constant matrix B for float GEMM (MatMul, Attention)
  • Limited Python 3.8 support added in addition to 3.5-3.7 for official Python packages. Not yet supported for Windows GPU and Linux ARM builds.
  • Telemetry enabled in Java and NodeJS packages for Windows builds. Note: data is not directly sent to Microsoft or ORT teams by ONNX Runtime; enabling telemetry means trace events are collected by the Windows operating system and may be sent to the cloud based on the user's privacy settings - learn more.

API

  • Python API support for RegisterCustomOpsLibrary
  • IO Binding API for C/C++/C# language bindings. This allows use of pre-allocated buffers on targeted devices and also target device for unknown output shapes.
  • Sharing of allocators between multiple sessions. This allows much better utilization of memory by not creating a separate arena for each session in the same process. See this for details.

Windows ML

  • NuGet package now supports UWP applications targeting Windows Store deployment (CPU only)
  • NuGet package now supports .NET and .NET framework applications
  • RUST Developers can now deploy Windows ML – sample and documentation available here
  • New APIs to for additional performance control:
    • IntraopNumThreads: Provides an ability to change the number of threads used in the threadpool for Intra Operator Execution for CPU operators through LearningModelSessionOptions.
    • SetNamedDimensionOverrides: Provides the ability to override named input dimensions to concrete values through LearningModelSessionOptions in order to achieve better runtime performance.
  • Support for additional ONNX format image type denotations – Gray8, normalized [0..1] and normalized [-1..1]
  • Reduced Windows ML package size by separating debug symbols into separate distribution package.

Execution Providers

  • CUDA updates
    • CUDA 10.2 / cuDNN 8.0 in official package
    • CUDA 11 support added and available to build from source
    • CUDA conv kernel support asymmetrical padding to fully support models such as YoloV3 for improved GPU perf
  • TensorRT EP updates
    • Support for TensorRT 7.1
    • Added TensorRT engine caching feature, turned on by setting env variable ORT_TENSORRT_ENGINE_CACHE_ENABLE=1
    • TensorRT builds are now built with the Execution Provider as a separate dll. If enabled in the build, the provider will be available as a shared library. This was previously also enabled for the DNNL EP (ORT 1.3). Other Execution Providers will be added in the future.
  • OpenVINO EP updates
    • Support for OpenVINO 2020.4
    • Added runtime options for VPU hardware to select specific hardware device and enable fast compilation of models.
    • Enable C# binding support for OpenVINO EP
  • DirectML EP updates
    • API available for Python (build from source) and C# Microsoft.ML.OnnxRuntime.DirectML
    • 7 new operators for ONNX 1.7 (opset 12): Celu, GreaterOrEqual, LessOrEqual, ArgMin/Max with select_last_index, GatherND with batch_dim, RoiAlign
    • New data integer types were added to existing operators: Clip int, Max int, Min int, MaxPool int8, ReduceMin int8, ReduceMax int8, Pow int exponent
    • Higher dimension support 1D to 8D added to these operators: ElementWise*, Activation*, Reduce*, ArgMin/ArgMax, Gather*, Scatter*, OneHot
    • 64-bit support for indices on GPU's that support it: Gather, Scatter, OneHot, ArgMax/ArgMin, Cast.
  • Android NNAPI EP updates:
    • Support for dynamic input shape
    • Int32/float32/uint8 data type
    • 50% more supported operators (36 total)
    • Support for Uint8 static quantization
    • Smaller binary size
    • Lower memory consumption
    • CPU fallback for Android level 26-
  • MiGraphX EP updates
    • Added ONNX operators: GatherElements, NonZero, Equal, and Where
    • Support for Boolean data type
    • Improve support for existing operators:
      • Asymmetric padding of AveragePool
      • Multi-dimensional support for Convolution, Pooling, LRN, and Batchnormalization
      • Ceil mode support for AveragePool and MaxPool
      • More general approach to check whether constant folding is possible
    • Improved graph partitioning logic

Training (RC3 release)

  • New and improved API to simplify integration with PyTorch trainer code - see instructions here
  • Updated CUDA 11 / cuDNN 8.0 support to accelerate in NVIDIA A100

Dependency updates

MacOS binaries now rely on openmp to be installed. See this for reference.
