Embed Paddle Inference in Your Application

Paddle inference offers the APIs in C and C++ languages.

One can easily deploy a model trained by Paddle following the steps as below:

  1. Optimize the native model;
  2. Write some codes for deployment.

Let's explain the steps in detail.

Optimize the native Fluid Model

The native model that get from the training phase needs to be optimized for that.

  • Clean the noise such as the cost operators that do not need inference;
  • Prune unnecessary computation fork that has nothing to do with the output;
  • Remove extraneous variables;
  • Memory reuse for native Fluid executor;
  • Translate the model storage format to some third-party engine's, so that the inference API can utilize the engine for acceleration;

We have an official tool to do the optimization, call paddle_inference_optimize --help for more information.

Write some codes
