tvm.relay.analysis.get_calibration_data(mod, data)

Get the calibration data of a given relay graph

This pass uses the graph executor to get the calibration data of a module, which includes the input and output values of each function. The returned data uses the GlobalVar of each function as a key. Users can further access the inputs and outputs by using inputs or outputs as the key.

Following are some limitations: 1. The input module (graph) cannot have control flows. 2. The input arguments of each function cannot be tuples (outputs can be tuples). 3. We only handle top-level functions (i.e., nested function is not handled). 4. We only handle functions with Compiler attribute being set.

Parameters
  • mod (tvm.IRModule) – The input module for collecting the calibration data

  • data (Dict[str, NDArray]) – The input data for running the module

Returns

data

Return type
