NVIDIA TensorRT
NVIDIA TensorRT
NVIDIA® TensorRT™ is an SDK for high-performance deep learning inference. It includes a deep learning inference optimizer and runtime that delivers low latency and high throughput for deep learning inference applications.
TensorRT-based applications perform up to 40X faster than CPU-only platforms during inference. With TensorRT, you can optimize neural network models trained in all major frameworks, calibrate for lower precision with high accuracy, and deploy to hyperscale data centers, embedded, or automotive product platforms.
TensorRT is built on CUDA®, NVIDIA’s parallel programming model, and enables you to optimize inference leveraging libraries, development tools, and technologies in CUDA-X™ for artificial intelligence, autonomous machines, high-performance computing, and graphics.
TensorRT provides INT8 and FP16 optimizations for production deployments of deep learning inference applications such as video streaming, speech recognition, recommendation, fraud detection, and natural language processing. Reduced precision inference significantly reduces application latency, which is a requirement for many real-time services, as well as autonomous and embedded applications.
With TensorRT, developers can focus on creating novel AI-powered applications rather than performance tuning for inference deployment.

Accelerates Every Inference Platform
TensorRT can optimize and deploy applications to the data center, as well as embedded and automotive environments. It powers inference solutions such as NVIDIA DRIVE™, NVIDIA Clara™, and NVIDIA Jetpack™.
TensorRT is also integrated with application-specific SDKs such as NVIDIA Jarvis, Merlin™, Maxine™, and Broadcast Engine to provide developers a unified path to deploy conversational AI, recommender, video conference, and streaming apps in production.
Supports All Major Frameworks
NVIDIA works closely with deep learning framework developers to achieve optimized performance for inference on AI platforms using TensorRT. If you are performing deep learning training in a proprietary or custom framework, use the TensorRT C++ API to import and accelerate your models. Read more in the TensorRT documentation.
Below are few integrations with information on how to get started.
TensorRT and TensorFlow are tightly integrated so you get the flexibility of TensorFlow with the powerful optimizations of TensorRT.
MATLAB is integrated with TensorRT through GPU Coder so that engineers and scientists using MATLAB can automatically generate high-performance inference engines for NVIDIA Jetson™, DRIVE, and data center platforms.
TensorRT provides an ONNX parser to easily import ONNX models from popular frameworks into TensorRT. It’s also integrated with ONNX Runtime, providing an easy way to achieve high-performance inference in the ONNX format.
