Intel® Neural Compressor, formerly known as Intel® Low Precision Optimization Tool, is an open-source Python library that runs on Intel CPUs and GPUs, which delivers unified interfaces across multiple deep-learning frameworks for popular network compression technologies such as quantization, pruning, and knowledge distillation. This tool supports automatic accuracy-driven tuning strategies to help the user quickly find out the best quantized model. It also implements different weight-pruning algorithms to generate a pruned model with predefined sparsity goal. It also supports knowledge distillation to distill the knowledge from the teacher model to the student model. 
Intel® Neural Compressor is a critical AI software component in the [Intel® oneAPI AI Analytics Toolkit](https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/tools/oneapi/ai-analytics-toolkit.html).

> **Note:**
> GPU support is under development.

## Getting Started
### Quantization with Python API    

```shell
# A TensorFlow Example
pip install tensorflow
# Prepare fp32 model
wget https://storage.googleapis.com/intel-optimized-tensorflow/models/v1_6/mobilenet_v1_1.0_224_frozen.pb
```
```python
import tensorflow as tf
from neural_compressor.experimental import Quantization, common
tf.compat.v1.disable_eager_execution()
quantizer = Quantization()
quantizer.model = './mobilenet_v1_1.0_224_frozen.pb'
dataset = quantizer.dataset('dummy', shape=(1, 224, 224, 3))
quantizer.calib_dataloader = common.DataLoader(dataset)
quantizer.fit()
```
### Quantization with [GUI](./docs/bench.md)
```shell
# An ONNX Example
pip install onnx==1.12.0 onnxruntime==1.12.1 onnxruntime-extensions
# Prepare fp32 model
wget https://github.com/onnx/models/raw/main/vision/classification/resnet/model/resnet50-v1-12.onnx
# Start GUI
inc_bench
```

### Quantization with [Auto-coding API](./neural_coder/docs/AutoQuant.md) (Experimental)

```python
from neural_coder import auto_quant
auto_quant(
    code="https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/v4.21-release/examples/pytorch/text-classification/run_glue.py",
    args="--model_name_or_path albert-base-v2 \
          --task_name sst2 \
          --do_eval \
          --output_dir result \
          --overwrite_output_dir",
)
```

## System Requirements

Intel® Neural Compressor supports systems based on [Intel 64 architecture or compatible processors](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64) that are specifically optimized for the following CPUs:

* Intel Xeon Scalable processor (formerly Skylake, Cascade Lake, Cooper Lake, and Icelake)
* Future Intel Xeon Scalable processor (code name Sapphire Rapids)

### Validated Software Environment

* OS version: CentOS 8.4, Ubuntu 20.04  
* Python version: 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10
