ML Model: An ML model is an algorithm trained over a dataset. A model con- sists of procedure/algorithm and data/pattern required to make predictions on live data. Once the model is created and trained outside of the DPDK scope, the model can be loaded via rte_ml_model_load() and then start it using rte_ml_model_start() API. The rte_ml_model_params_update() can be used to update the model parameters such as weight and bias without unload- ing the model using rte_ml_model_unload(). ML Inference: ML inference is the process of feeding data to the model via rte_ml_enqueue_burst() API and use rte_ml_dequeue_burst() API to get the calculated outputs/predictions from the started model. In all functions of the ML device API, the ML device is designated by an integer >= 0 named as device identifier dev_id. The functions exported by the ML device API to setup a device designated by its device identifier must be invoked in the following order: - rte_ml_dev_configure() - rte_ml_dev_queue_pair_setup() - rte_ml_dev_start() A model is required to run the inference operations with the user speci- fied inputs. Application needs to invoke the ML model API in the following order before queueing inference jobs. - rte_ml_model_load() - rte_ml_model_start() A model can be loaded on a device only after the device has been config- ured and can be started or stopped only after a device has been started. The rte_ml_model_info_get() API is provided to retrieve the information re- lated to the model. The information would include the shape and type of in- put and output required for the inference. Data quantization and dequantization is one of the main aspects in ML do- main. This involves conversion of input data from a higher precision to a lower precision data type and vice-versa for the output. APIs are provided to enable quantization through rte_ml_io_quantize() and dequantization through rte_ml_io_dequantize(). These APIs have the capability to handle input and output buffers holding data for multiple batches. Two utility APIs rte_ml_io_input_size_get() and rte_ml_io_output_size_get() can used to get the size of quantized and de-quantized multi-batch input and output buffers. User can optionally update the model parameters with rte_ml_model_params_update() after invoking rte_ml_model_stop() API on a given model ID. The application can invoke, in any order, the functions exported by the ML API to enqueue inference jobs and dequeue inference response. If the application wants to change the device configuration (i.e., call rte_ml_dev_configure() or rte_ml_dev_queue_pair_setup()), then application must stop the device using rte_ml_dev_stop() API. Likewise, if model para- meters need to be updated then the application must call rte_ml_model_stop() followed by rte_ml_model_params_update() API for the given model. The application does not need to call rte_ml_dev_stop() API for any model re-configuration such as rte_ml_model_params_update(), rte_ml_model_unload() etc. Once the device is in the start state after invoking rte_ml_dev_start() API and the model is in start state after invoking rte_ml_model_start() API, then the application can call rte_ml_enqueue_burst() and rte_ml_de- queue_burst() API on the destined device and model ID. Finally, an application can close an ML device by invoking the rte_ml_dev_close() function. Typical application utilisation of the ML API will follow the following programming flow. * rte_ml_dev_configure() * rte_ml_dev_queue_pair_setup() * rte_ml_model_load() * rte_ml_dev_start() * rte_ml_model_start() * rte_ml_model_info_get() * rte_ml_enqueue_burst() * rte_ml_dequeue_burst() * rte_ml_model_stop() * rte_ml_model_unload() * rte_ml_dev_stop() * rte_ml_dev_close() Regarding multi-threading, by default, all the functions of the ML Device API exported by a PMD are lock-free functions which assume to not be in- voked in parallel on different logical cores on the same target object. For instance, the dequeue function of a poll mode driver cannot be invoked in parallel on two logical cores to operate on same queue pair. Of course, this function can be invoked in parallel by different logical core on dif- ferent queue pair. It is the responsibility of the user application to en- force this rule.

The rte_ml_enqueue_burst() function is invoked to place ML inference opera- tions on the queue qp_id of the device designated by its dev_id. The nb_ops parameter is the number of inferences to process which are sup- plied in the ops array of rte_ml_op structures. The rte_ml_enqueue_burst() function returns the number of inferences it ac- tually enqueued for processing. A return value equal to nb_ops means that all packets have been enqueued. Parameters dev_id The identifier of the device. qp_id The index of the queue pair which inferences are to be enqueued for processing. The value must be in the range [0, nb_queue_pairs - 1] previously supplied to rte_ml_dev_configure. ops The address of an array of nb_ops pointers to rte_ml_op structures which contain the ML inferences to be processed. nb_ops The number of operations to process. Returns The number of inference operations actually enqueued to the ML device. The return value can be less than the value of the nb_ops parameter when the ML device queue is full or if invalid parameters are specified in a rte_ml_op. __rte_experimental uint16_t rte_ml_dequeue_burst (int16_t dev_id, uint16_t qp_id, struct rte_ml_op ** ops, uint16_t nb_ops) Dequeue a burst of processed ML inferences operations from a queue on the ML device. The dequeued operations are stored in rte_ml_op structures whose pointers are supplied in the ops array. The rte_ml_dequeue_burst() function returns the number of inferences actu- ally dequeued, which is the number of rte_ml_op data structures effectively supplied into the ops array. A return value equal to nb_ops indicates that the queue contained at least nb_ops* operations, and this is likely to signify that other processed op- erations remain in the devices output queue. Application implementing a 'retrieve as many processed operations as possible' policy can check this specific case and keep invoking the rte_ml_dequeue_burst() function until a value less than nb_ops is returned. The rte_ml_dequeue_burst() function does not provide any error notification to avoid the corresponding overhead. Parameters dev_id The identifier of the device. qp_id The index of the queue pair from which to retrieve processed packets. The value must be in the range [0, nb_queue_pairs - 1] previ- ously supplied to rte_ml_dev_configure(). ops The address of an array of pointers to rte_ml_op structures that must be large enough to store nb_ops pointers in it. nb_ops The maximum number of inferences to dequeue. Returns The number of operations actually dequeued, which is the number of pointers to rte_ml_op structures effectively supplied to the ops array. __rte_experimental int rte_ml_op_error_get (int16_t dev_id, struct rte_ml_op * op, struct rte_ml_op_error * error) Get PMD specific error information for an ML op. When an ML operation completed with RTE_ML_OP_STATUS_ERROR as status, This API allows to get PMD specific error details. Parameters dev_id Device identifier op Handle of ML operation error Address of structure rte_ml_op_error to be filled Returns * Returns 0 on success * Returns negative value on failure __rte_experimental int rte_ml_dev_stats_get (int16_t dev_id, struct rte_ml_dev_stats * stats) Retrieve the general I/O statistics of a device. Parameters dev_id The identifier of the device. stats Pointer to structure to where statistics will be copied. On er- ror, this location may or may not have been modified. Returns * 0 on success * -EINVAL: If invalid parameter pointer is provided. __rte_experimental void rte_ml_dev_stats_reset (int16_t dev_id) Reset the statistics of a device. Parameters dev_id The identifier of the device. __rte_experimental int rte_ml_dev_xstats_names_get (int16_t dev_id, enum rte_ml_dev_xstats_mode mode, int32_t model_id, struct rte_ml_dev_xstats_map * xstats_map, uint32_t size) Retrieve names of extended statistics of an ML device. Parameters dev_id The identifier of the device. mode Mode of statistics to retrieve. Choices include the device statis- tics and model statistics. model_id Used to specify the model number in model mode, and is ignored in device mode. xstats_map Block of memory to insert names and ids into. Must be at least size in capacity. If set to NULL, function returns required ca- pacity. The id values returned can be passed to rte_ml_dev_xstats_get to select statistics. size Capacity of xstats_names (number of xstats_map). Returns * Positive value lower or equal to size: success. The return value is the number of entries filled in the stats table. * Positive value higher than size: error, the given statistics table is too small. The return value corresponds to the size that should be given to succeed. The entries in the table are not valid and shall not be used by the caller. * Negative value on error: -ENODEV for invalid dev_id. -EINVAL for in- valid mode, model parameters. -ENOTSUP if the device doesn't support this function. __rte_experimental int rte_ml_dev_xstats_by_name_get (int16_t dev_id, const char * name, uint16_t * stat_id, uint64_t * value) Retrieve the value of a single stat by requesting it by name. Parameters dev_id The identifier of the device. name Name of stat name to retrieve. stat_id If non-NULL, the numerical id of the stat will be returned, so that further requests for the stat can be got using rte_ml_dev_xs- tats_get, which will be faster as it doesn't need to scan a list of names for the stat. If the stat cannot be found, the id returned will be (unsigned)-1. value Value of the stat to be returned. Returns * Zero: No error. * Negative value: -EINVAL if stat not found, -ENOTSUP if not supported. __rte_experimental int rte_ml_dev_xstats_get (int16_t dev_id, enum rte_ml_dev_xstats_mode mode, int32_t model_id, const uint16_t stat_ids[], uint64_t values[], uint16_t nb_ids) Retrieve extended statistics of an ML device. Parameters dev_id The identifier of the device. mode Mode of statistics to retrieve.
