Member Function Documentation

GetMetric()

virtual Parameter InferenceEngine::ICore::GetMetric ( const std::string &  deviceName, const std::string &  name  ) const

pure virtual

Gets general runtime metric for dedicated hardware.

The method is needed to request common device properties which are executable network agnostic. It can be device name, temperature, other devices-specific values.

Parameters

deviceName	- A name of a device to get a metric value.
name	- metric name to request.

Returns

Metric value corresponding to metric key.

GetTaskExecutor()

virtual std::shared_ptr<ITaskExecutor> InferenceEngine::ICore::GetTaskExecutor ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns global to Inference Engine class task executor.

Returns

Reference to task executor

ImportNetwork()

virtual ExecutableNetwork InferenceEngine::ICore::ImportNetwork ( std::istream &  networkModel, const std::string &  deviceName = {}, const std::map< std::string, std::string > &  config = {}  )

pure virtual

Creates an executable network from a previously exported network.

Parameters

deviceName	Name of device load executable network on
networkModel	network model stream
config	Optional map of pairs: (config parameter name, config parameter value) relevant only for this load operation*

Returns

An executable network reference

LoadNetwork()

virtual ExecutableNetwork InferenceEngine::ICore::LoadNetwork ( const CNNNetwork &  network, const std::string &  deviceName, const std::map< std::string, std::string > &  config = {}  )

pure virtual

Creates an executable network from a network object.

Users can create as many networks as they need and use them simultaneously (up to the limitation of the hardware resources)

Parameters

network	CNNNetwork object acquired from Core::ReadNetwork
deviceName	Name of device to load network to
config	Optional map of pairs: (config parameter name, config parameter value) relevant only for this load operation

Returns

An executable network reference

QueryNetwork()

virtual QueryNetworkResult InferenceEngine::ICore::QueryNetwork ( const CNNNetwork &  network, const std::string &  deviceName, const std::map< std::string, std::string > &  config  ) const

pure virtual

Query device if it supports specified network with specified configuration.

Parameters

deviceName	A name of a device to query
network	Network object to query
config	Optional map of pairs: (config parameter name, config parameter value)

Returns

An object containing a map of pairs a layer name -> a device name supporting this layer.

ReadNetwork() [1/2]

virtual CNNNetwork InferenceEngine::ICore::ReadNetwork ( const std::string &  model, const Blob::CPtr &  weights  ) const

pure virtual

Reads IR xml and bin (with the same name) files.

Parameters

model	string with IR
weights	shared pointer to constant blob with weights

Returns

CNNNetwork

ReadNetwork() [2/2]

virtual CNNNetwork InferenceEngine::ICore::ReadNetwork ( const std::string &  modelPath, const std::string &  binPath  ) const

pure virtual

Reads IR xml and bin files.

Parameters

modelPath	path to IR file
binPath	path to bin file, if path is empty, will try to read bin file with the same name as xml and if bin file with the same name was not found, will load IR without weights.

Returns

CNNNetwork
