The purpose of this post is to show my example of SavedModelBuilder to do inference in TensorFlow. From my experiment, this approach can save a model with the signature that has input and output node name. And SavedModelBuilder can restore the graph based on the previously saved model pb file and the signature definition. Once, the restore is done, the inference task can be executed directly without GPU device needed if the training task is on GPU device.

[Reinforcement Learning] Get started to learn Actor Critic for reinforcement learning
Actor-Critic is basically combined with Policy Gradient (Actor) and Function Approximation (Critic) based algorithm together. Actor is based on the probability given by policy to act and Critic judges the performance of Actor and gives the score. So, Actor will improve its probability given by policy based on Critic's judge and score. The following diagram is the concept:

[RNN] What are the difference of input and output's tensor shape in dynamic_rnn and static_rnn using TensorFlow
When studying RNN, my first issue encountered in my program is about the shape of input and output tensors. Shape is a very important information to connect between layers. Here I just directly point out what are differences in input/output shape of static RNN and dynamic RNN.
P.S: If you use Keras to write your RNN model, you won't need to deal with these details.

[TensorFlow] Does it help the processing time and transmission time if increasing CUDA Steam number in TensorFlow?
Before starting to increase the CUDA Steam number in TensorFlow, I want to recap some ideas about the Executor module. When TensorFlow session runs, it will build Executor. Meanwhile, if you enable CUDA in TensorFlow build configuration, the Executor will add visible GPU devices and create TF device object (GPUDevice object) mapping to physical GPU device. There are 4 kinds of streams inside GPUDevice:
- CUDA stream
- Host_to_Device stream
- Device_to_Host stream
- Device_to_Device stream

[TensorFlow Grappler] How to do the topological sorting in TensorFlow Grappler?
If you try to implement some optimizers in TensorFlow Grappler, you must have to know how to deal with the directed computation graph. One of the most important tools/knowledges is topological sorting.
The definition from Wiki: Topological sorting
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topological_sorting
"In the field of computer science, a topological sort or topological ordering of a directed graph is a linear ordering of its vertices such that for every directed edge uv from vertex u to vertex v, u comes before v in the ordering."

Before I discuss this question, let's recall how to turn on XLA JIT compilation and use it in TensorFlow python API.

Turning on JIT compilation at the session level will result in all possible operators being greedily compiled into XLA computations. Each XLA computation will be compiled into one or more kernels for the underlying device.

[XLA 研究] How to use XLA AOT compilation in TensorFlow
This document is going to explain how to use AOT compilation in TensorFlow. We will use the tool: tfcompile, which is a standalone tool that ahead-of-time (AOT) compiles TensorFlow graphs into executable code. It can reduce the total binary size, and also avoid some runtime overheads. A typical use-case of tfcompile is to compile an inference graph into executable code for mobile devices. The following steps are as follows:

During the installation, I indeed encounter some issues with not abling to setup IP address on TX2, and I resolved it. If anyone still has this issue, let me know and I will post another article to explain the resolving steps.
