static constexpr Property<element::Type, PropertyMutability::RW> inference_precision = {"INFERENCE_PRECISION_HINT"}

Hint for device to use specified precision for inference.

static constexpr Property<Priority> model_priority = {"MODEL_PRIORITY"}

High-level OpenVINO model priority hint Defines what model should be provided with more performant bounded resource first.

static constexpr Property<PerformanceMode> performance_mode = {"PERFORMANCE_HINT"}

High-level OpenVINO Performance Hints unlike low-level properties that are individual (per-device), the hints are something that every device accepts and turns into device-specific settings.

static constexpr Property<SchedulingCoreType> scheduling_core_type = {"SCHEDULING_CORE_TYPE"}

This property defines CPU core type which can be used during inference.

Developer can use this property to select specific CPU cores for inference. Please refer SchedulingCoreType for all definition of core type.

The following code is an example to only use efficient-cores for inference on hybrid CPU. If user sets this configuration on a platform with only performance-cores, CPU inference will still run on the performance-cores.

ie.set_property(ov::hint::scheduling_core_type(ov::hint::SchedulingCoreType::ECORE_ONLY));

static constexpr Property<std::set<ModelDistributionPolicy>> model_distribution_policy = {"MODEL_DISTRIBUTION_POLICY"}

This property defines model distribution policy for inference with multiple sockets/devices.

This property can be used to select model distribution policy between execution units (e.g. between CPU sockets/NUMA nodes or between different GPUs). &#8212; TENSOR_PARALLEL : Distribute tensor to multiple sockets/devices during model compilation. At inference time, sockets/devices process individual tensor in parallel. &#8212; PIPELINE_PARALLEL : Distribute tensor to multiple sockets/devices during model compilation. At inference time, sockets/devices process individual tensor one by one. And each socket/device processes a portion of a different tensor in parallel.

The following code is an example how TENSOR_PARALLEL or PIPELINE_PARALLEL model distribution policy might be enabled.

ie.set_property(ov::hint::model_distribution_policy({ov::hint::ModelDistributionPolicy::TENSOR_PARALLEL}));
ie.set_property(ov::hint::model_distribution_policy({ov::hint::ModelDistributionPolicy::PIPELINE_PARALLEL}));

static constexpr Property<bool> enable_cpu_pinning = {"ENABLE_CPU_PINNING"}

This property allows CPU pinning during inference.

Developer can use this property to enable or disable CPU pinning during inference on Windows and Linux. MacOS does not support CPU pinning, and this property is always disabled. If user does not explicitly set value for this property, OpenVINO may choose any desired value based on internal logic.

The following is an example of CPU fixed behavior on a hybrid CPU (8 performance cores and 16 efficiency cores). For stream with 4 threads on performance cores, if CPU pinning is enabled, each thread is bound to a specific performance core. If CPU pinning is disabled, OS will schedule 4 threads on performance cores only. For stream with 24 threads on all cores, if CPU pinning is enabled, each thread is bound to a specific performance core. If CPU pinning is disabled, OS will schedule 24 threads on both performance cores and efficiency cores.

The following code is example to use this property.

ie.set_property(ov::hint::enable_cpu_pinning(true));
ie.set_property(ov::hint::enable_cpu_pinning(false));

static constexpr Property<bool> enable_hyper_threading = {"ENABLE_HYPER_THREADING"}

This property define if using hyper threading during inference.

Developer can use this property to use or not use CPU pinning during inference. If user does not explicitly set value for this property, OpenVINO may choose any desired value based on internal logic.

The following code is example to use this property.

ie.set_property(ov::hint::enable_hyper_threading(true));
ie.set_property(ov::hint::enable_hyper_threading(false));

static constexpr Property<uint32_t> num_requests = {"PERFORMANCE_HINT_NUM_REQUESTS"}

Special key for auto batching feature configuration. Enabled by default.

static constexpr Property<ExecutionMode> execution_mode = {"EXECUTION_MODE_HINT"}

High-level OpenVINO Execution hint unlike low-level properties that are individual (per-device), the hints are something that every device accepts and turns into device-specific settings Execution mode hint controls preferred optimization targets (performance or accuracy) for given model.

static constexpr Property<uint64_t, PropertyMutability::RW> dynamic_quantization_group_size{"DYNAMIC_QUANTIZATION_GROUP_SIZE"}

This property defines group size for dynamic quantization optimization.

Dynamic quantization optimization provides an ability to get performance benefit from int8 compute. In contrast with static quantization dynamic approach assumes activations are quantized during inference. Despite the fact dynamic quantization has some runtime overheads, it might provide better accuracy metrics. This property defines granularity (aka block size) for dynamic quantization algorithms. Lower group size values might result in better accuracy, but the drawback is worse performance. Group size equal 0 means dynamic quantization optimization is disabled.

static constexpr Property<element::Type, PropertyMutability::RW> kv_cache_precision = {"KV_CACHE_PRECISION"}

Hint for device to use specified precision for kv cache compression.

static constexpr Property<float, PropertyMutability::RW> activations_scale_factor = {"ACTIVATIONS_SCALE_FACTOR"}

The underlying cache structure is not defined and might differ between OpenVINO releases Cached data might be platform / device specific and might be invalid after OpenVINO version change If this property is not specified or value is empty string, then caching is disabled. The property might enable caching for the plugin using the following code:

ie.set_property("GPU", ov::cache_dir("cache/")); // enables cache for GPU plugin

The following code enables caching of compiled network blobs for devices where import/export is supported

ie.set_property(ov::cache_dir("cache/")); // enables models cache

static constexpr Property<bool, PropertyMutability::RO> loaded_from_cache = {"LOADED_FROM_CACHE"}

static constexpr Property<EncryptionCallbacks, PropertyMutability::WO> cache_encryption_callbacks{"CACHE_ENCRYPTION_CALLBACKS"}

Write-only property to set encryption/decryption function for saving/loading model cache. If cache_encryption_callbacks is set, the model topology will be encrypted when saving to the cache and decrypted when loading from the cache. This property is set in core.compile_model only.

Read-only property to query information optimal batch size for the given device and the network.

Property returns a value of unsigned int type, Returns optimal batch size for a given network on the given device. The returned value is aligned to power of 2. Also, ov::hint::model is the required option for this metric since the optimal batch size depends on the model, so if the ov::hint::model is not given, the result of the metric is always 1. For the GPU the metric is queried automatically whenever the OpenVINO performance hint for the throughput is used, so that the result (>1) governs the automatic batching (transparently to the application). The automatic batching can be disabled with ALLOW_AUTO_BATCHING set to NO
