YOLOv3 Object Detection on Chimera GPNPU
YOLOv3, from the Ultralytics line, is a single-stage detector with a Darknet-53 backbone and three detection scales. This notebook compiles the yolov3 variant end-to-end: download the pre-built backbone + head ONNX, quantize the backbone to INT8, compile with the Chimera Graph Compiler (CGC), and run ISS + ORT INT8 inferences side-by-side.
Why split the graph?
YOLOv3's head mixes anchor decoding and per-scale detection ops that are cheaper to keep on the host CPU; the backbone is a dense stack of convolutions that compiles to a clean GPNPU graph. The ONNX is pre-split at the three head-boundary edges — we feed the backbone to CGC and run the head through ORT on the host.
Note — split pipeline.
- On the Chimera GPNPU: the backbone
- On the host CPU: the detection head ONNX
The full pipeline can run end-to-end on the GPNPU — see
yolox_e2e_chipy.ipynborretina_net_e2e_chipy.ipynbfor examples that compose CCL custom ops with ChiPy to keep every stage on-chip.
1. Setup
Imports and per-run configuration. The S3 ONNX download, calibration dataset, input loading, and bounding-box visualization all live in yolov3_helpers.py.
import gc
import numpy as np
import onnx
from onnxruntime import InferenceSession
from PIL import Image
from sdk_cli.lib.inference import InferenceEngine, batch_inference
from sdk_cli.lib.quantize import QuantizedONNXModel, quantize_onnx_model
from sdk_cli.node_builtins.classical.yolo_postprocessing import (
boxes_detections,
get_postprocess_handle,
)
from sdk_cli.utils.models.yolo import YOLOModelVariant
from tvm.contrib.epu.chimera_job.chimera_job import ChimeraJob

build_calibration_dataset,
display_detections,
download_model,
load_images,
)
%matplotlib inline
2. Model Selection
Ultralytics ships three YOLOv3 variants. We use yolov3 (the full, Darknet-53 backbone) below; yolov3_spp adds a Spatial Pyramid Pooling block to the head, and yolov3_tiny is the lightweight version with a smaller backbone and two detection scales instead of three.
| Variant | Size (px) | Params (M) | GFLOPs @640 |
|---|---|---|---|
| YOLOv3-tiny | 640 | 8.8 | 13.2 |
| YOLOv3 | 640 | 61.9 | 156.3 |
| YOLOv3-SPP | 640 | 62.9 | 156.6 |
3. Model Download
download_model() fetches the pre-built YOLOv3 backbone + head ONNX from the public sdk-cli-models S3 bucket. The backbone is the Darknet-53 convolutional stack; the head holds the anchor-decode + per-scale detection ops and runs on the host through ORT.
backbone_onnx_file, head_onnx_file = download_model()
Downloading yolov3-backbone.onnx ...
Backbone: yolov3-backbone.onnx (247.8 MB)
Downloading yolov3-head.onnx ...
Head: yolov3-head.onnx (4.4 MB)
4. Quantization
The backbone is quantized to INT8 with asymmetric activations using the COCO-like subset of QuadricCalibration for tensor-range statistics. The QuantizedONNXModel return value carries both the quantized ONNX and its companion .tranges file.
calibration_dataset = build_calibration_dataset(INPUT_SIZE)
quantized_onnx_model: QuantizedONNXModel = quantize_onnx_model(
backbone_onnx_file,
calibration_dataset,
asymmetric_activation=True,
)
print(f"Quantized ONNX: {quantized_onnx_model.model_path.name}")
print(f"Tensor ranges: {quantized_onnx_model.tensor_ranges_path.name}")

batch_inference runs the compiled backbone against multiple images in parallel — once through ORT INT8 (reference) and once through ISS INT8 (the Chimera GPNPU's cycle-accurate simulator). Both drive the same head ONNX on the host for the classical tail.

Summary
| Model | YOLOv3 (COCO, 640×640, 61.9M params, 156.3 GFLOPs) |
| Pipeline | ONNX download (pre-split) → quantize (INT8 asymmetric) → CGC compile → ISS + ORT inference → YOLOv3 NMS → bbox overlay |
| Compiled on GPNPU | Darknet-53 backbone |
| On host CPU | YOLOv3 head ONNX, classical NMS, bounding-box visualization |
| Calibration | QuadricCalibration COCO-like subset |
Key takeaways
- Splitting the ONNX at the head boundary keeps CGC focused on GPNPU-friendly convolutional ops while the anchor-decode + NMS tail runs on the host.
- The SDK exposes the same
ChimeraJobhandle to bothCHIMERA_ORT_INT8(ONNX Runtime reference) andCHIMERA_ISS_INT8(ISS), making side-by-side validation a one-dict change. - Asymmetric INT8 quantization on a COCO-like calibration subset preserves detection quality at the default YOLOv3 score threshold.
