Tensor configs (AVX2 Tensor \/ AVX512 Tensor)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These ship NVIDIA TensorRT<\/strong> inference (TensorRT.cpp) on top of the matching GPU+SIMD baseline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Install TensorRT 8.x+ for your CUDA version.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Either:<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Copy\/extract under third_party\/tensorrt\/ with include\/ and lib\/, or<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Build with \/p:TensorRtDir=C:\\Path\\To\\TensorRT\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Select configuration in VS or:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    .\\scripts\\build_v145.ps1 -Configuration Release-GPU-AVX512-Tensor -Platform x64<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Linked: nvinfer.lib, nvonnxparser.lib, nvinfer_plugin.lib.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Post-build copies nvinfer*.dll when present under $(TensorRtDir)\\lib or \\bin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Without TensorRT installed, non-Tensor<\/strong> GPU configs still build; Tensor configs will fail at link until TensorRtDir is valid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
