TorchServe Examples

The following are examples on how to create and serve model archives with TorchServe.

Creating mar file for eager mode model

Following are the steps to create a torch-model-archive (.mar) to execute an eager mode torch model in TorchServe :

• Pre-requisites to create a torch model archive (.mar) :

  • serialized-file (.pt) : This file represents the state_dict in case of eager mode model.
  • model-file (.py) : This file contains model class extended from torch nn.modules representing the model architecture. This parameter is mandatory for eager mode models. This file must contain only one class definition extended from torch.nn.Module.
  • index_to_name.json : This file contains the mapping of predicted index to class. The default TorchServe handles returns the predicted index and probability. This file can be passed to model archiver using --extra-files parameter.
  • version : Model's version.
  • handler : TorchServe default handler's name or path to custom inference handler(.py)

• Syntax

  torch-model-archiver --model-name <model_name> --version <model_version_number> --model-file <path_to_model_architecture_file> --serialized-file <path_to_state_dict_file> --handler <path_to_custom_handler_or_default_handler_name> --extra-files <path_to_index_to_name_json_file>
  

Creating mar file for torchscript mode model

Following are the steps to create a torch-model-archive (.mar) to execute a torchscript mode torch model in TorchServe :

• Pre-requisites to create a torch model archive (.mar) :

  • serialized-file (.pt) : This file represents the state_dict in case of eager mode model or an executable ScriptModule in case of TorchScript.
  • index_to_name.json : This file contains the mapping of predicted index to class. The default TorchServe handles returns the predicted index and probability. This file can be passed to model archiver using --extra-files parameter.
  • version : Model's version.
  • handler : TorchServe default handler's name or path to custom inference handler(.py)

• Syntax

  torch-model-archiver --model-name <model_name> --version <model_version_number> --serialized-file <path_to_executable_script_module> --extra-files <path_to_index_to_name_json_file> --handler <path_to_custom_handler_or_default_handler_name>
