# CUDANet

Convolutional Neural Network inference library running on CUDA.

## Quickstart Guide

**requirements**
- [cmake](https://cmake.org/)
- [CUDA](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads)
- [Google Test](https://github.com/google/googletest) (for testing only)

**build**

```sh
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -S .. -DCMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES=75 # Replace with you cuda architecture
make
```

**build and run tests**

```sh
make test_main
./test/test_main
```

### Create Layers and Model

```cpp
CUDANet::Model *model =
new CUDANet::Model(inputSize, inputChannels, outputSize);

// Conv2d
CUDANet::Layers::Conv2d *conv2d = new CUDANet::Layers::Conv2d(
inputSize, inputChannels, kernelSize, stride, numFilters,
CUDANet::Layers::Padding::VALID,
CUDANet::Layers::ActivationType::NONE
);

if (setWeights) {
conv2d->setWeights(getConv1Weights().data());
}
model->addLayer("conv1", conv2d);
```

### Sequential and Functional API

Run prediction by passing the input through the layers in the order they have been added.

```cpp
std::vector input = {...};
model->predict(input.data());
```

If you want to use more complex forward pass, using `Concat` or `Add` layers, you can subclass the model class and override the default `predict` function

```cpp
class MyModel : public CUDANet::Model {
...
}

...

float* MyModel::predict(const float* input) {
float* d_input = inputLayer->forward(input);

d_conv1 = getLayer("conv1")->forward(d_input);
d_conv2 = getLayer("conv2")->forward(d_input);

d_output = concatLayer->forward(d_conv1, d_conv2);

return outputLayer->forward(d_input);
}
```

### Load Pre-trained Weights

CUDANet uses format similar to safetensors to load weights and biases.

```
[u_short version, u_int64 header size, header, tensor values]
```

where `header` is a csv format

```
,,
```

To load weights call `load_weights` function on Model object. To export weights from pytorch you can use the `export_model_weights` function from `tools/utils.py` script. Currently only float32 weights are supported
