❓ [Question] Linking error with PTQ function

[jonahclarsen]

❓ Question

I am getting a linking error when using torch_tensorrt::ptq::make_int8_calibrator. I am using the Windows build based on CMake, so I'm not sure if it's a problem with the way it was built, but I suspect not since I can use functions from ::torchscript just fine.

I am trying to create a barebones program to test ptq based on examples/int8/ptq/main.cpp, and I get this linker error whenever torch_tensorrt::ptq::make_int8_calibrator is used. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Environment

• PyTorch Version (e.g., 1.0): 1.11+cu113
• OS (e.g., Linux): Windows 10
• How you installed PyTorch (conda, pip, libtorch, source): libtorch from pytorch.org
• CUDA version: 11.3

Additional context

This is the linker error that I get:

Hi @jonahclarsen !

I added simple CMakeLists.txt to the examples (amongst which the int8/ptq example you mention in this issue) on my branch on #1058 . Compiling and installing the lib using CMake on windows I am able to compile the ptq example without linking error. The CMake configuration command is slightly verbose but here it is:

cmake -S. -Bbuild_dir -DTorch_DIR="..\..\..\..\libtorch\share\cmake\Torch" -Dtorchtrt_DIR="C:\Program Files (x86)\Torch-TensorRT\lib\cmake\torchtrt" -DTensorRT_ROOT="C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\TensorRT-8.2.4.2"

This specifies:

• Torch_DIR: since libtorch is not installed system wide.
• torchtrt_DIR: it is the install folder you specified when compiling the lib (you can use -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to specify a directory, otherwise it looks like it is installed in C:\Program Files (x86) by default.
• TensorRT_ROOT: you know that one 😃

Can you try that out and let me know if that solves your linking issue?

@gcuendet Awesome - that fixed the linking error! Thanks so much.

I'm now getting a "CUDA illegal memory access" error with my implementation of the ptq example after a few batches are calibrated. I'm not sure if this is due to my implementation or if it's a problem with the libraries.

EDIT: It was a problem with my implementation. I was using the wrong input shape. Works now!
