Analyze Network for Code Generation

You can analyze code generation compatibility of deep learning networks by using the analyzeNetworkForCodegen function. Use the network code generation analyzer to validate a SeriesNetwork, DAGNetwork, and dlnetwork for non-library and library targets and detect problems before code generation. Supported library targets include MKL-DNN, ARM Compute, CMSIS-NN, ARM Compute Mali, cuDNN, and TensorRT. Problems that analyzeNetworkForCodegen detects include unsupported layers for code generation, network issues, built-in layer specific issues, and issues with custom layers.

The analyzeNetworkForCodegen function requires the MATLAB® Coder™ Interface for Deep Learning and GPU Coder™ Interface for Deep Learning support packages. To download and install support package, use the Add-On Explorer. You can also download the support packages from MathWorks GPU Coder Team and MathWorks MATLAB Coder Team.

Check dlnetwork for Code Generation Compatibility

This example shows how to check code generation compatibility of multi-input dlnetwork by using the analyzeNetworkForCodegen function.

The example checks code generation support for the following targets:

  • Library free code generation.

  • ARM® Compute Library.

  • ARM Compute Library for Mali GPU.

  • Intel® Math Kernel Library for Deep Neural Networks (Intel MKL-DNN).

  • Common Microcontroller Software Interface Standard - Neural Network (CMSIS-NN) library.

  • NVidia® CUDA® Deep Neural Network library (cuDNN).

  • NVIDIA TensorRT high performance deep learning inference optimizer and run-time library.

Define Network Architecture

Construct a network with two branches. The network takes two inputs, with one input per branch. Connect the branches using an addition layer.

layersBranch1 = [
    sequenceInputLayer(1,"Name","in1","Normalization","none")
    fullyConnectedLayer(32,"Name","fc_1")
    reluLayer("Name","relu_body1")
    lstmLayer(32,"Name","lstm", "OutputMode","last")
    fullyConnectedLayer(32,"Name","fc_3")
    reluLayer("Name","relu_body3")
    fullyConnectedLayer(4,"Name","output1")
    additionLayer(2,"Name","add")];

layersBranch2 = [
    imageInputLayer([5 5 3],"Name","in2","Normalization","none")
    fullyConnectedLayer(4,"Name","fc_1_b1")
    reluLayer("Name","output2")];

lgraph = layerGraph(layersBranch1);
lgraph = addLayers(lgraph, layersBranch2);
lgraph = lgraph.connectLayers('output2', 'add/in2');

figure
plot(lgraph)

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object contains an object of type graphplot.

Create the dlnetwork.

dlnet = dlnetwork(lgraph);

Analyze Classification Network for Code Generation Compatibility

This example shows how to create a simple convolutional neural network for deep learning classification and test the network for code generation compatibility. The example demonstrates how to:

  • Load and explore image data.

  • Define the network architecture.

  • Specify training options and train the network.

  • Predict the labels of new data and calculate the classification accuracy.

  • Analyze the deep learning network for code generation and report network and layer compatibility issues by using analyzeNetworkForCodegen.

The analyzeNetworkForCodegen function requires the MATLAB® Coder™ Interface for Deep Learning and the GPU Coder™ Interface for Deep Learning support packages. To install the required support packages, use the Add-On Explorer.

Load and Explore Image Data

Load the digit sample data as an image datastore. Display some of the images in the datastore.

digitDatasetPath = fullfile(matlabroot,'toolbox','nnet','nndemos', ...
    'nndatasets','DigitDataset');
imds = imageDatastore(digitDatasetPath, ...
    'IncludeSubfolders',true,'LabelSource','foldernames');

figure;
perm = randperm(10000,20);
for i = 1:20
    subplot(4,5,i);
    imshow(imds.Files{perm(i)});
end

Figure contains 20 axes objects. Hidden axes object 1 contains an object of type image. Hidden axes object 2 contains an object of type image. Hidden axes object 3 contains an object of type image. Hidden axes object 4 contains an object of type image. Hidden axes object 5 contains an object of type image. Hidden axes object 6 contains an object of type image. Hidden axes object 7 contains an object of type image. Hidden axes object 8 contains an object of type image. Hidden axes object 9 contains an object of type image. Hidden axes object 10 contains an object of type image. Hidden axes object 11 contains an object of type image. Hidden axes object 12 contains an object of type image. Hidden axes object 13 contains an object of type image. Hidden axes object 14 contains an object of type image. Hidden axes object 15 contains an object of type image. Hidden axes object 16 contains an object of type image. Hidden axes object 17 contains an object of type image. Hidden axes object 18 contains an object of type image. Hidden axes object 19 contains an object of type image. Hidden axes object 20 contains an object of type image.

Check the size of the first image in digitData. Each image is 28-by-28-by-1 pixels.

img = readimage(imds,1);
size(img)
ans = 1×2

    28    28

Divide the data into training and validation data sets, so that each category in the training set contains 750 images, and the validation set contains the remaining images from each label.

numTrainFiles = 750;
[imdsTrain,imdsValidation] = splitEachLabel(imds,numTrainFiles,'randomize');

Define Network Architecture

Define the convolutional neural network architecture.

layers = [
    imageInputLayer([28 28 1])
    
    convolution2dLayer(3,8,'PaddingValue',5,'Name','conv1')
    batchNormalizationLayer
    reluLayer
    
    maxPooling2dLayer(2,'Stride',2)
    
    convolution2dLayer(3,16,'Padding','same','Name','conv2')
    batchNormalizationLayer
    reluLayer
    
    maxPooling2dLayer(2,'Stride',2)
    
    convolution2dLayer(3,32,'Padding','same','Name','conv3')
    batchNormalizationLayer
    reluLayer
    
    fullyConnectedLayer(10)
    softmaxLayer
    classificationLayer];

Specify Training Options and Train Network

Train the network using stochastic gradient descent with momentum (SGDM) with an initial learning rate of 0.01. Set the maximum number of epochs to 4. Monitor the network accuracy during training by specifying validation data and validation frequency. Shuffle the data every epoch. Turn on the training progress plot, and turn off the command window output.

options = trainingOptions('sgdm', ...
    'InitialLearnRate',0.01, ...
    'MaxEpochs',4, ...
    'Shuffle','every-epoch', ...
    'ValidationData',imdsValidation, ...
    'ValidationFrequency',30, ...
    'Verbose',false, ...
    'Plots','training-progress');

Train the network using the architecture defined by layers, the training data, and the training options. The training progress plot shows the mini-batch loss and accuracy and the validation loss and accuracy.

net = trainNetwork(imdsTrain,layers,options);

Figure Training Progress (21-Jul-2024 12:11:07) contains 8 axes objects and another object of type uigridlayout. Axes object 1 with xlabel Iteration, ylabel Loss contains 11 objects of type patch, text, line. Axes object 2 with xlabel Iteration, ylabel Accuracy (%) contains 11 objects of type patch, text, line. Hidden axes object 3 contains 2 objects of type line, text. Hidden axes object 4 contains 2 objects of type line, text. Hidden axes object 5 contains 2 objects of type line, text. Hidden axes object 6 contains 2 objects of type line, text. Hidden axes object 7 contains 2 objects of type line, text. Hidden axes object 8 contains 2 objects of type line, text.

Classify Validation Images and Compute Accuracy

Predict the labels of the validation data using the trained network, and calculate the final validation accuracy. Accuracy is the fraction of labels that the network predicts correctly. In this case, more than 99% of the predicted labels match the true labels of the validation set.

YPred = classify(net,imdsValidation);
YValidation = imdsValidation.Labels;

accuracy = sum(YPred == YValidation)/numel(YValidation)
accuracy = 
0.9904

Analyze Network for Code Generation

To check the network for code generation compatibility, run analyzeNetworkForCodegen. By default, the function validates against a set of default CPU and GPU deep learning library targets. analyzeNetworkForCodegen returns a 1-by-N structure containing the analysis results.

     "conv1"     "Convolution2DLayer"    "Layer 'conv1' has a non-default padding value. Code generation for nnet.cnn.layer.Convolution2DLayer only supports padding value equal to 0. "

The first convolution2dLayer (conv1) has non-zero padding value. For code generation, the PaddingValue parameter must be equal to 0, which is the default value.

Fix Network Issues and Retrain

In this example, the padding value of the convolution layer can be set to zero.

layers(2) = convolution2dLayer(3,8,'PaddingValue',0,'Name','conv1');

Retrain the modified network using the following training options.

options = trainingOptions('sgdm', ...
    'InitialLearnRate',0.01, ...
    'MaxEpochs',4, ...
    'Shuffle','every-epoch', ...
    'ValidationData',imdsValidation, ...
    'ValidationFrequency',30, ...
    'Verbose',false, ...
    'Plots','none');
net = trainNetwork(imdsTrain,layers,options);

Check the modified network for code generation compatibility.
