Class ov::InferRequest#

class InferRequest#

This is a class of infer request that can be run in asynchronous or synchronous manners.

Public Functions

InferRequest() = default#: Default constructor.

InferRequest(const InferRequest &other) = default#

Default copy constructor.

Parameters:: other – Another InferRequest object.

InferRequest &operator=(const InferRequest &other) = default#

Default copy assignment operator.

Parameters:: other – Another InferRequest object.
Returns:: Reference to the current object.

InferRequest(InferRequest &&other) = default#

Default move constructor.

Parameters:: other – Another InferRequest object.

InferRequest &operator=(InferRequest &&other) = default#

Default move assignment operator.

Parameters:: other – Another InferRequest object.
Returns:: Reference to the current object.

~InferRequest()#: Destructor that preserves unloading order of implementation object and reference to the library.

Note

To preserve destruction order inside the default generated assignment operator, _impl is stored before _so. Use the destructor to remove implementation object before referencing to the library explicitly.

Sets a batch of tensors for input data to infer by input port. Model input must have batch dimension, and the number of tensors must match the batch size. The current version supports setting tensors to model inputs only. If port is associated with output (or any other non-input node), an exception is thrown.

Parameters:

port – Port of the input tensor.
tensors – Input tensors for batched infer request. The type of each tensor must match the model input element type and shape (except batch dimension). Total size of tensors must match the input size.

void set_input_tensor(size_t idx, const Tensor &tensor)#

void set_input_tensors(size_t idx, const std::vector<Tensor> &tensors)#

Sets a batch of tensors for input data to infer by input name. Model input must have batch dimension, and number of tensors must match the batch size.

Parameters:

idx – Name of the input tensor.
tensors – Input tensors for batched infer request. The type of each tensor must match the model input element type and shape (except batch dimension). Total size of tensors must match the input size.

void set_output_tensor(size_t idx, const Tensor &tensor)#

Sets an output tensor to infer.

Note

Index of the input preserved accross ov::Model, ov::CompiledModel, and ov::InferRequest.

Parameters:

idx – Index of the output tensor.
tensor – Reference to the output tensor. The type of the tensor must match the model output element type and shape.

Tensor get_tensor(const std::string &tensor_name)#

Gets an input/output tensor for inference by tensor name.

Returns:: The tensor with name tensor_name. If the tensor is not found, an exception is thrown.

Tensor get_tensor(const ov::Output<const ov::Node> &port)#

Gets an input/output tensor for inference.

If the tensor with the specified port is not found, an exception is thrown.

Parameters:: port – Port of the tensor to get.
Returns:: Tensor for the port port.

Returns:: Output tensor for the model. If model has several outputs, an exception is thrown.

void infer()#: Infers specified input(s) in synchronous mode.

Note

It blocks all methods of InferRequest while request is ongoing (running or waiting in a queue). Calling any method leads to throwning the ov::Busy exception.

void cancel()#: Cancels inference request.

std::vector<ProfilingInfo> get_profiling_info() const#

Queries performance measures per layer to identify the most time consuming operation.

Note

Not all plugins provide meaningful data.

Returns:: Vector of profiling information for operations in a model.

void start_async()#: Starts inference of specified input(s) in asynchronous mode.

Note

It returns immediately. Inference starts also immediately. Calling any method while the request in a running state leads to throwning the ov::Busy exception.

void wait()#: Waits for the result to become available. Blocks until the result becomes available.

bool wait_for(const std::chrono::milliseconds timeout)#

Waits for the result to become available. Blocks until the specified timeout has elapsed or the result becomes available, whichever comes first.

Parameters:: timeout – Maximum duration, in milliseconds, to block for.
Returns:: True if inference request is ready and false, otherwise.

void set_callback(std::function<void(std::exception_ptr)> callback)#

Sets a callback std::function that is called on success or failure of an asynchronous request.

Warning

Do not capture strong references to OpenVINO runtime objects into callback. Following objects should not be captured like:

ov::InferRequest
ov::ExecutableNetwork
ov::Core As specified objects implement shared reference concept do not capture this objects by value. It can lead to memory leaks or undefined behaviour! Try to use weak references or pointers.

Parameters:: callback – callback object which will be called on when inference finish.

std::vector<VariableState> query_state()#

Gets state control interface for the given infer request.

State control essential for recurrent models.

Returns:: Vector of Variable State objects.

void reset_state()#: Resets all internal variable states for relevant infer request to a value specified as default for the corresponding ReadValue node.

CompiledModel get_compiled_model()#

Checks if the current InferRequest object is initialized.

Returns:: True if the current InferRequest object is initialized; false, otherwise.

Compares whether this request wraps the same impl underneath.

Returns:: True if the current InferRequest object does not wrap the same impl as the operator’s arg.

bool operator==(const InferRequest &other) const noexcept#

Compares whether this request wraps the same impl underneath.

Parameters:: other – Another inference request.
Returns:: True if the current InferRequest object wraps the same impl as the operator’s arg.
