What is it?

Orkhon is Rust framework for Machine Learning to run/use inference/prediction code written in Python, frozen models and process unseen data. It is mainly focused on serving models and processing unseen data in a performant manner. Instead of using Python directly and having scalability problems for servers this framework tries to solve them with built-in async API.

Main features

• Sync & Async API for models.
• Easily embeddable engine for well-known Rust web frameworks.
• API contract for interacting with Python code.
• High processing throughput
  • ~4.8361 GiB/s prediction throughput
  • 3_000 concurrent requests takes ~4ms on average
• Python Module caching

Installation

You can include Orkhon into your project with;

[dependencies]
orkhon = "0.2"

Dependencies

You will need:

• If you use pymodel feature, Python dev dependencies should be installed and have proper python runtime to use Orkhon with your project.
• If you want to have tensorflow inference. Installing tensorflow as library for linking is required.
• ONNX interface doesn't need extra dependencies from the system side.
• Point out your PYTHONHOME environment variable to your Python installation.

Python API contract

For Python API contract you can take a look at the Project Documentation.

Examples

Request a Tensorflow prediction asynchronously

 use orkhon::prelude::*;
 use orkhon::tcore::prelude::*;
 use orkhon::ttensor::prelude::*;
 use rand::*;
 use std::path::PathBuf;

let o = Orkhon::new()
    .config(
        OrkhonConfig::new()
            .with_input_fact_shape(InferenceFact::dt_shape(f32::datum_type(), tvec![10, 100])),
    )
    .tensorflow(
        "model_which_will_be_tested",
        PathBuf::from("tests/protobuf/manual_input_infer/my_model.pb"),
    )
    .shareable();

let mut rng = thread_rng();
let vals: Vec<_> = (0..1000).map(|_| rng.gen::<f32>()).collect();
let input = tract_ndarray::arr1(&vals).into_shape((10, 100)).unwrap();

let o = o.get();
let handle = async move {
    let processor = o.tensorflow_request_async(
       "model_which_will_be_tested",
       ORequest::with_body(TFRequest::new().body(input.into())),
    );
    processor.await
};
let resp = block_on(handle).unwrap();

Request an ONNX prediction synchronously

This example needs onnxmodel feature enabled.

use orkhon::prelude::*;
use orkhon::tcore::prelude::*;
use orkhon::ttensor::prelude::*;
use rand::*;
use std::path::PathBuf;

 let o = Orkhon::new()
     .config(
         OrkhonConfig::new()
             .with_input_fact_shape(InferenceFact::dt_shape(f32::datum_type(), tvec![10, 100])),
     )
     .onnx(
         "model_which_will_be_tested",
         PathBuf::from("tests/protobuf/onnx_model/example.onnx"),
     )
     .build();

 let mut rng = thread_rng();
 let vals: Vec<_> = (0..1000).map(|_| rng.gen::<f32>()).collect();
 let input = tract_ndarray::arr1(&vals).into_shape((10, 100)).unwrap();

 let resp = o
     .onnx_request(
         "model_which_will_be_tested",
         ORequest::with_body(ONNXRequest::new().body(input.into())),
     )
     .unwrap();
 assert_eq!(resp.body.output.len(), 1);
