"Transformer Engine (TE) is a library designed primarily for training DL models in low precision. It is not specifically optimized for inference tasks, so other dedicated solutions should be used. NVIDIA provides several [inference tools](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/solutions/ai/inference/) that enhance the entire inference pipeline. Two prominent NVIDIA inference SDKs are [TensorRT](https://github.com/NVIDIA/TensorRT) and [TensorRT-LLM](https://github.com/NVIDIA/TensorRT-LLM).\n",
"\n",
"This tutorial illustrates how one can export a PyTorch model to ONNX format and subsequently perform inference with TensorRT. This approach is particularly beneficial if model integrates Transformer Engine layers within more complex architectures. It's important to highlight that for Transformer-based large language models (LLMs), TensorRT-LLM could provide a more optimized inference experience. However, the ONNX-to-TensorRT approach described here may be more suitable for other models, such as diffusion-based architectures or vision transformers.\n",

"\n",
"TensorRT is a high-performance deep learning inference optimizer and runtime developed by NVIDIA. It enables optimized deployment of neural network models by maximizing inference throughput and reducing latency on NVIDIA GPUs. TensorRT performs various optimization techniques, including layer fusion, precision calibration, kernel tuning, and memory optimization. \n",

"\n",
"When using TensorRT, ONNX model must first be compiled into a TensorRT engine. This compilation step involves converting the ONNX model into an optimized representation tailored specifically to the target GPU platform. The compiled engine file can then be loaded into applications for rapid and efficient inference execution."
