PTQ with IPEX backend and XPU device is not working

[paguilomanas]

Hi all,

I have been trying to apply post-training-quantization to a custom vision model (pretrained vgg16 model) which I have already finetuned using "xpu" (Intel GPU Max Series). I have saved the resulting model weights from this finetuning in "pt_training_xpu_none.pt" (I cannot attach the file :( it is too big).

The issue takes place when loading the weights for quantizing the model and afterwards running inference.
The neural_compressor.quantization is not working and returns several unexpected errors when using this configuration conf=PostTrainingQuantConfig(backend="ipex", device="xpu").

The main errors are the following (the full output trace is below):

• [ERROR] Unexpected exception AttributeError("'_OpNamespace' 'torch_ipex' object has no attribute 'merged_embeddingbag_cat_forward'") happened during tuning.
  Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/anaconda3/envs/gpu-pt/lib/python3.9/site-packages/neural_compressor/utils/utility.py", line 103, in getattr
  mod = getattr(self.module, name)

• AttributeError: module 'intel_extension_for_pytorch' has no attribute 'quantization'

• RuntimeError: No such operator torch_ipex::merged_embeddingbag_cat_forward

• AttributeError(AttributeError: '_OpNamespace' 'torch_ipex' object has no attribute 'merged_embeddingbag_cat_forward'
  2024-06-28 09:59:49 [ERROR] Specified timeout or max trials is reached! Not found any quantized model which meet accuracy goal. Exit.

These are the library versions I am using (I guess there might be some incompatibilities between IPEX and INC versions):

neural_compressor: 2.6
intel_extension_for_pytorch: 2.1.30.post0+xpu
torch: 2.1.0.post2
torchaudio: 2.1.0.post2
torchvision: 0.16.0.post2

This is a simplified version of my code:

import torch

from neural_compressor.config import PostTrainingQuantConfig
from neural_compressor import quantization
import intel_extension_for_pytorch as ipex

from modules import img_generator_pytorch
from modules import VGG16Custom

quantize = True

model_path = "./pt_training_xpu_none.pt"
val_dataset_path = "./dataset/val"
q_model_path = "./pt_inference_xpu_inc"

model = VGG16Custom()
model.load_state_dict(torch.load(model_path))
model.to("xpu")
model.eval()

# if model is not quantized and saved already
if quantize: 
        data_loader_calib = img_generator_pytorch(val_dataset_path, batch_size=batch_size, shuffle=True, drop_remainder=True)
        conf = PostTrainingQuantConfig(backend="ipex", device="xpu")
        q_model= quantization.fit(model=model,  conf=conf, calib_dataloader=data_loader_calib)
        q_model.save(q_model_path)

# once model is saved and quantize we just load the saved model (no need to quantize it everytime)
q_model = load(q_model_path, model)

This is the output trace with the errors:

I also wanted to mention that I have been following this main.py example code stored in "examples/pytorch/image_recognition/torchvision_models/quantization/ptq/cpu/ipex/main.py" which sets "xpu" as optional device and runs a benchmark afterwards. It was updated 7 months ago #1348 commited as "support ipex xpu".

[violetch24]

hi @paguilomanas , since IPEX-xpu has recently changed quantization interface while INC has not, there are some issues when using the latest version of IPEX. Please try with an older version v2.0.110+xpu, while we are working on adapting IPEX's new API to INC.

[amaliacb]

Hello, I'm @paguilomanas 's colleague and we have tried with the downgrade of ipex-cpu's version and it is still not working. Could you help?

Here are the library versions:

torch                     2.0.1a0+cxx11.abi
torchaudio                2.1.0.post0+cxx11.abi    
torchvision               0.15.2a0+cxx11.abi        
neural-compressor         2.6                    
intel-extension-for-pytorch 2.0.110+xpu

The same error appears:
