CV-CUDA

CV-CUDA is an open-source project that enables building efficient cloud-scale Artificial Intelligence (AI) imaging and computer vision (CV) applications. It uses GPU acceleration to help developers build highly efficient pre- and post- processing pipelines. CV-CUDA originated as a collaborative effort between NVIDIA and ByteDance.

Refer to our Developer Guide for more information on the operators avaliable as of release v0.2.0-alpha.

Getting Started

To get a local copy up and running follow these steps.

Pre-requisites

• Linux distro:
  • Ubuntu x86_64 >= 18.04
  • WSL2 with Ubuntu >= 20.04 (tested with 20.04)
• CUDA Driver >= 11.7 (Not tested on 12.0)
• GCC >= 11.0
• Python >= 3.7
• cmake >= 3.22

Installation

The following steps describe how to install CV-CUDA from pre-built install packages. Choose the installation method that meets your environment needs.

Tar File Installation

tar -xvf nvcv-lib-0.2.0-cuda11-x86_64-linux.tar.xz

DEB File Installation

sudo dpkg -i nvcv-lib-0.2.0-cuda11-x86_64-linux.deb

Python WHL File Installation

pip install nvcv_python-0.2.0-cp38-cp38-linux_x86_64.whl

Build from Source

Follow these instruction to successfully build CV-CUDA from source:

1. Build CV-CUDA

   cd ~/cvcuda
   ci/build.sh
   

   This will compile a x86 release build of CV-CUDA inside build-rel directory. The library is in build-rel/lib, docs in build-rel/docs and executables (tests, etc...) in build-rel/bin.

   The script accepts some parameters to control the creation of the build tree:

   ci/build.sh [release|debug] [output build tree path]
   

   By default it builds for release.

   If output build tree path isn't specified, it'll be build-rel for release builds, and build-deb for debug.

2. Build Documentation

   ci/build_docs.sh [build folder]
   

   Example: `ci/build_docs.sh build

3. Build Samples

   ./ci/build_samples.sh [build folder]
   

   (For instructions on how to compile samples outside of the CV-CUDA project, see the Samples documentation)

4. Run Tests

   The tests are in <buildtree>/bin. You can run the script below to run all tests at once. Here's an example when build tree is created in build-rel

   build-rel/bin/run_tests.sh
   

5. Run Samples

   The samples are installed in <buildtree>/bin. You can run the script below to download and serialize the model and run the sample with the test data provided.

   ./ci/run_samples.sh
   

6. Package installers

   From a succesfully built project, installers can be generated using cpack:

   cd build-rel
   cpack .
   

   This will generate in the build directory both Debian installers and tarballs (*.tar.xz), needed for integration in other distros.

   For a fine-grained choice of what installers to generate, the full syntax is:

   cmake . -G [DEB|TXZ]
   

   • DEB for Debian packages
   • TXZ for *.tar.xz tarballs.
