+## Model overview
+
+The ResNeXt101-32x4d is a model introduced in the [Aggregated Residual Transformations for Deep Neural Networks](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1611.05431.pdf) paper.
+
+It is based on regular ResNet model, substituting 3x3 convolutions inside the bottleneck block for 3x3 grouped convolutions.
+
+This model is trained with mixed precision using Tensor Cores on Volta, Turing, and the NVIDIA Ampere GPU architectures. Therefore, researchers can get results 3x faster than training without Tensor Cores, while experiencing the benefits of mixed precision training. This model is tested against each NGC monthly container release to ensure consistent accuracy and performance over time.
+
+We use [NHWC data layout](https://pytorch.org/tutorials/intermediate/memory_format_tutorial.html) when training using Mixed Precision.
+
+### Model architecture
+
+![ResNextArch](./img/ResNeXtArch.png)
+
+_Image source: [Aggregated Residual Transformations for Deep Neural Networks](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1611.05431.pdf)_
+
+Image shows difference between ResNet bottleneck block and ResNeXt bottleneck block.
+
+ResNeXt101-32x4d model's cardinality equals to 32 and bottleneck width equals to 4.
+
+### Default configuration
+
+The following sections highlight the default configurations for the ResNeXt101-32x4d model.
+
+#### Optimizer
+
+This model uses SGD with momentum optimizer with the following hyperparameters:
+
+* Momentum (0.875)
+* Learning rate (LR) = 0.256 for 256 batch size, for other batch sizes we linearly
+scale the learning rate.
+* Learning rate schedule - we use cosine LR schedule
+* For bigger batch sizes (512 and up) we use linear warmup of the learning rate
+during the first couple of epochs
+according to [Training ImageNet in 1 hour](https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.02677).
+Warmup length depends on the total training length.
+* Weight decay (WD)= 6.103515625e-05 (1/16384).
+* We do not apply WD on Batch Norm trainable parameters (gamma/bias)
+* Label smoothing = 0.1
+* We train for:
+    * 90 Epochs -> 90 epochs is a standard for ImageNet networks
+    * 250 Epochs -> best possible accuracy.
+* For 250 epoch training we also use [MixUp regularization](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1710.09412.pdf).
+
+
+#### Data augmentation
+
+This model uses the following data augmentation:
+
+* For training:
+  * Normalization
+  * Random resized crop to 224x224
+    * Scale from 8% to 100%
+    * Aspect ratio from 3/4 to 4/3
+  * Random horizontal flip
+* For inference:
+  * Normalization
+  * Scale to 256x256
+  * Center crop to 224x224

+### Feature support matrix
+
+The following features are supported by this model:
+
+| Feature               | ResNeXt101-32x4d
+|-----------------------|--------------------------
+|[DALI](https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/sdk/dali-release-notes/index.html)   |   Yes
+|[APEX AMP](https://nvidia.github.io/apex/amp.html) | Yes |
+
+#### Features
+
+- NVIDIA DALI - DALI is a library accelerating data preparation pipeline. To accelerate your input pipeline, you only need to define your data loader
+with the DALI library. For more information about DALI, refer to the [DALI product documentation](https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/dali/user-guide/docs/index.html).
+
+- [APEX](https://github.com/NVIDIA/apex) is a PyTorch extension that contains utility libraries, such as [Automatic Mixed Precision (AMP)](https://nvidia.github.io/apex/amp.html), which require minimal network code changes to leverage Tensor Cores performance. Refer to the [Enabling mixed precision](#enabling-mixed-precision) section for more details.
+
+### DALI
+
+We use [NVIDIA DALI](https://github.com/NVIDIA/DALI),
+which speeds up data loading when CPU becomes a bottleneck.
+DALI can use CPU or GPU, and outperforms the PyTorch native dataloader.
+
+Run training with `--data-backends dali-gpu` or `--data-backends dali-cpu` to enable DALI.
+For DGXA100 and DGX1 we recommend `--data-backends dali-cpu`.
+
+### Mixed precision training
+
+Mixed precision is the combined use of different numerical precisions in a computational method. [Mixed precision](https://arxiv.org/abs/1710.03740) training offers significant computational speedup by performing operations in half-precision format, while storing minimal information in single-precision to retain as much information as possible in critical parts of the network. Since the introduction of [Tensor Cores](https://developer.nvidia.com/tensor-cores) in Volta, and following with both the Turing and Ampere architectures, significant training speedups are experienced by switching to mixed precision -- up to 3x overall speedup on the most arithmetically intense model architectures. Using mixed precision training requires two steps:
+1.  Porting the model to use the FP16 data type where appropriate.
+2.  Adding loss scaling to preserve small gradient values.
+
+The ability to train deep learning networks with lower precision was introduced in the Pascal architecture and first supported in CUDA 8 in the NVIDIA Deep Learning SDK.
+
+For information about:
+-   How to train using mixed precision, see the [Mixed Precision Training](https://arxiv.org/abs/1710.03740) paper and [Training With Mixed Precision](https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/sdk/mixed-precision-training/index.html) documentation.
+-   Techniques used for mixed precision training, see the [Mixed-Precision Training of Deep Neural Networks](https://devblogs.nvidia.com/mixed-precision-training-deep-neural-networks/) blog.
+-   APEX tools for mixed precision training, see the [NVIDIA Apex: Tools for Easy Mixed-Precision Training in PyTorch](https://devblogs.nvidia.com/apex-pytorch-easy-mixed-precision-training/).
+
+#### Enabling mixed precision
+
+Mixed precision is enabled in PyTorch by using the Automatic Mixed Precision (AMP), a library from [APEX](https://github.com/NVIDIA/apex) that casts variables to half-precision upon retrieval,
+while storing variables in single-precision format. Furthermore, to preserve small gradient magnitudes in backpropagation, a [loss scaling](https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/sdk/mixed-precision-training/index.html#lossscaling) step must be included when applying gradients.
+In PyTorch, loss scaling can be easily applied by using scale_loss() method provided by AMP. The scaling value to be used can be [dynamic](https://nvidia.github.io/apex/fp16_utils.html#apex.fp16_utils.DynamicLossScaler) or fixed.
+
+For an in-depth walk through on AMP, check out sample usage [here](https://github.com/NVIDIA/apex/tree/master/apex/amp#usage-and-getting-started). [APEX](https://github.com/NVIDIA/apex) is a PyTorch extension that contains utility libraries, such as AMP, which require minimal network code changes to leverage tensor cores performance.
+
+To enable mixed precision, you can:
+- Import AMP from APEX:
+
+  ```python
+  from apex import amp
+  ```
+
+- Wrap model and optimizer in amp.initialize:
+
+  ```python
+  model, optimizer = amp.initialize(model, optimizer, opt_level="O1", loss_scale="dynamic")
+  ```
+
+- Scale loss before backpropagation:
+  ```python
+  with amp.scale_loss(loss, optimizer) as scaled_loss:
+    scaled_loss.backward()
+  ```
+
+#### Enabling TF32
+
+TensorFloat-32 (TF32) is the new math mode in [NVIDIA A100](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/a100/) GPUs for handling the matrix math also called tensor operations. TF32 running on Tensor Cores in A100 GPUs can provide up to 10x speedups compared to single-precision floating-point math (FP32) on Volta GPUs. 
+
+TF32 Tensor Cores can speed up networks using FP32, typically with no loss of accuracy. It is more robust than FP16 for models which require high dynamic range for weights or activations.
+
+For more information, refer to the [TensorFloat-32 in the A100 GPU Accelerates AI Training, HPC up to 20x](https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2020/05/14/tensorfloat-32-precision-format/) blog post.
+
+TF32 is supported in the NVIDIA Ampere GPU architecture and is enabled by default.

+
+## Quick Start Guide
+
+### 1. Clone the repository.
+```
+git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA/DeepLearningExamples
+cd DeepLearningExamples/PyTorch/Classification/
+```
+
+### 2. Download and preprocess the dataset.
+
+The ResNeXt101-32x4d script operates on ImageNet 1k, a widely popular image classification dataset from the ILSVRC challenge.
+
+PyTorch can work directly on JPEGs, therefore, preprocessing/augmentation is not needed.
+
+To train your model using mixed or TF32 precision with Tensor Cores or using FP32,
+perform the following steps using the default parameters of the resnext101-32x4d model on the ImageNet dataset.
+For the specifics concerning training and inference, see the [Advanced](#advanced) section.
+
+
+1. [Download the images](http://image-net.org/download-images).
+
+2. Extract the training data:
+  ```bash
+  mkdir train && mv ILSVRC2012_img_train.tar train/ && cd train
+  tar -xvf ILSVRC2012_img_train.tar && rm -f ILSVRC2012_img_train.tar
+  find . -name "*.tar" | while read NAME ; do mkdir -p "${NAME%.tar}"; tar -xvf "${NAME}" -C "${NAME%.tar}"; rm -f "${NAME}"; done
+  cd ..
+  ```
+
+3. Extract the validation data and move the images to subfolders:
+  ```bash
+  mkdir val && mv ILSVRC2012_img_val.tar val/ && cd val && tar -xvf ILSVRC2012_img_val.tar
+  wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/soumith/imagenetloader.torch/master/valprep.sh | bash
+  ```
+
+The directory in which the `train/` and `val/` directories are placed, is referred to as `<path to imagenet>` in this document.
+
+### 3. Build the ResNeXt101-32x4d PyTorch NGC container.
+
+```
+docker build . -t nvidia_resnext101-32x4d
+```
+
+### 4. Start an interactive session in the NGC container to run training/inference.
+```
+nvidia-docker run --rm -it -v <path to imagenet>:/imagenet --ipc=host nvidia_resnext101-32x4d
+```
+
+### 5. Start training
+
+To run training for a standard configuration (DGXA100/DGX1V, AMP/TF32/FP32, 90/250 Epochs),
+run one of the scripts in the `./resnext101-32x4d/training` directory
+called `./resnext101-32x4d/training/{AMP, TF32, FP32}/{ DGXA100, DGX1V }_resnext101-32x4d_{AMP, TF32, FP32}_{ 90, 250 }E.sh`.
+
+Ensure ImageNet is mounted in the `/imagenet` directory.
+
+Example:
+    `bash ./resnext101-32x4d/training/AMP/DGX1_resnext101-32x4d_AMP_250E.sh <path were to store checkpoints and logs>`
+
+### 6. Start inference
+
+You can download pretrained weights from NGC:
+
+```bash
+wget --content-disposition https://api.ngc.nvidia.com/v2/models/nvidia/resnext101_32x4d_pyt_amp/versions/20.06.0/zip -O resnext101_32x4d_pyt_amp_20.06.0.zip
+
+unzip resnext101_32x4d_pyt_amp_20.06.0.zip
+```
+
+To run inference on ImageNet, run:
+
+`python ./main.py --arch resnext101-32x4d --evaluate --epochs 1 --pretrained-from-file nvidia_resnext101-32x4d_200821.pth.tar -b <batch size> <path to imagenet>`
+
+To run inference on JPEG image using pretrained weights:
+
+`python classify.py --arch resnext101-32x4d --pretrained-from-file nvidia_resnext101-32x4d_200821.pth.tar --precision AMP|FP32 --image <path to JPEG image>`

+
+### Dataset guidelines
+
+To use your own dataset, divide it in directories as in the following scheme:
+
+ - Training images - `train/<class id>/<image>`
+ - Validation images - `val/<class id>/<image>`
+
+If your dataset's has number of classes different than 1000, you need to pass `--num_classes N` flag to the training script.
+
+### Training process
+
+All the results of the training will be stored in the directory specified with `--workspace` argument.
+Script will store:
+ - most recent checkpoint - `checkpoint.pth.tar` (unless `--no-checkpoints` flag is used).
+ - checkpoint with best validation accuracy - `model_best.pth.tar` (unless `--no-checkpoints` flag is used).
+ - JSON log - in the file specified with `--raport-file` flag.
+
+Metrics gathered through training:
+
+ - `train.loss` - training loss
+ - `train.total_ips` - training speed measured in images/second
+ - `train.compute_ips` - training speed measured in images/second, not counting data loading
+ - `train.data_time` - time spent on waiting on data
+ - `train.compute_time` - time spent in forward/backward pass
+
+To restart training from checkpoint use `--resume` option.
+
+To start training from pretrained weights (e.g. downloaded from NGC) use `--pretrained-from-file` option.
+
+The difference between those two is that the pretrained weights contain only model weights,
+and checkpoints, apart from model weights, contain optimizer state, LR scheduler state.
+
+Checkpoints are suitable for dividing the training into parts, for example in order
+to divide the training job into shorter stages, or restart training after infrastructure fail.
+
+Pretrained weights can be used as a base for finetuning the model to a different dataset,
+or as a backbone to detection models.
+
+### Inference process
+
+Validation is done every epoch, and can be also run separately on a checkpointed model.
+
+`python ./main.py --arch resnext101-32x4d --evaluate --epochs 1 --resume <path to checkpoint> -b <batch size> <path to imagenet>`
+
+Metrics gathered through training:
+
+ - `val.loss` - validation loss
+ - `val.top1` - validation top1 accuracy
+ - `val.top5` - validation top5 accuracy
+ - `val.total_ips` - inference speed measured in images/second
+ - `val.compute_ips` - inference speed measured in images/second, not counting data loading
+ - `val.data_time` - time spent on waiting on data
+ - `val.compute_time` - time spent on inference
+
+
+To run inference on JPEG image, you have to first extract the model weights from checkpoint:
+
+`python checkpoint2model.py --checkpoint-path <path to checkpoint> --weight-path <path where weights will be stored>`
+
+Then run classification script:
+
+`python classify.py --arch resnext101-32x4d --pretrained-from-file <path to weights from previous step> --precision AMP|FP32 --image <path to JPEG image>`
+
+You can also run ImageNet validation on pretrained weights:
+
+`python ./main.py --arch resnext101-32x4d --evaluate --epochs 1 --pretrained-from-file <path to pretrained weights> -b <batch size> <path to imagenet>`
+
+#### NGC Pretrained weights:
+
+Pretrained weights can be downloaded from NGC:
+
+```bash
+wget --content-disposition https://api.ngc.nvidia.com/v2/models/nvidia/resnext101_32x4d_pyt_amp/versions/20.06.0/zip -O resnext101_32x4d_pyt_amp_20.06.0.zip
+
+unzip resnext101_32x4d_pyt_amp_20.06.0.zip
+```
+
+To run inference on ImageNet, run:
+
+`python ./main.py --arch resnext101-32x4d --evaluate --epochs 1 --pretrained-from-file nvidia_resnext101-32x4d_200821.pth.tar -b <batch size> <path to imagenet>`
+
+To run inference on JPEG image using pretrained weights:
+
+`python classify.py --arch resnext101-32x4d --pretrained-from-file nvidia_resnext101-32x4d_200821.pth.tar --precision AMP|FP32 --image <path to JPEG image>`
