This repository provides an implementation of the QuartzNet model in PyTorch from the paper QuartzNet: Deep Automatic Speech Recognition with 1D Time-Channel Separable Convolutions.\nThe QuartzNet model is an end-to-end neural acoustic model for automatic speech recognition (ASR), that provides high accuracy at a low memory footprint. The QuartzNet architecture of convolutional layers was designed to facilitate fast GPU inference, by allowing whole sub-blocks to be fused into a single GPU kernel. This is important for meeting strict real-time requirements of ASR systems in deployment.

This repository is a PyTorch implementation of QuartzNet and provides scripts to train the QuartzNet 10x5 model from scratch on the LibriSpeech dataset to achieve the greedy decoding results improved upon the original paper.\nThe repository is self-contained and includes data preparation scripts, training, and inference scripts.\nBoth training and inference scripts offer the option to use Automatic Mixed Precision (AMP) to benefit from Tensor Cores for better performance.

In addition to providing the hyperparameters for training a model checkpoint, we publish a thorough inference analysis across different NVIDIA GPU platforms, for example, DGX-2, NVIDIA A100 GPU, and T4.

This model is trained with mixed precision using Tensor Cores on Volta, Turing, and the NVIDIA Ampere GPU architectures. Therefore, researchers can get results [1.4]x faster than training without Tensor Cores, while experiencing the benefits of mixed precision training. This model is tested against each NGC monthly container release to ensure consistent accuracy and performance over time.

Model architecture

QuartzNet is an end-to-end neural acoustic model that is based on efficient, time-channel separable convolutions (Figure 1).\nIn the audio processing stage, each frame is transformed into mel-scale spectrogram features, which the acoustic model takes as input and outputs a probability distribution over the vocabulary for each frame.

Features

DALI\nNVIDIA Data Loading Library (DALI) is a collection of highly optimized building blocks, and an execution engine, to accelerate the pre-processing of the input data for deep learning applications. DALI provides both the performance and the flexibility for accelerating different data pipelines as a single library. This single library can then be easily integrated into different deep learning training and inference applications. For details, see example sources in this repository or see the DALI documentation.

Automatic Mixed Precision (AMP)\nComputation graphs can be modified by PyTorch on runtime to support mixed precision training. A detailed explanation of mixed precision can be found in the next section.

Mixed precision training

Mixed precision is the combined use of different numerical precisions in a computational method. Mixed precision training offers significant computational speedup by performing operations in half-precision format while storing minimal information in single-precision to retain as much information as possible in critical parts of the network. Since the introduction of Tensor Cores in Volta, and following with both the Turing and Ampere architectures, significant training speedups are experienced by switching to mixed precision -- up to 3x overall speedup on the most arithmetically intense model architectures. Using mixed precision training previously required two steps:

Porting the model to use the FP16 data type where appropriate.
Adding loss scaling to preserve small gradient values.

For information about:

How to train using mixed precision, see the Mixed Precision Training paper and Training With Mixed Precision documentation.
Techniques used for mixed precision training, see the Mixed-Precision Training of Deep Neural Networks blog.
APEX tools for mixed precision training, see the NVIDIA Apex: Tools for Easy Mixed-Precision Training in PyTorch.

Enabling mixed precision

For training, mixed precision can be enabled by setting the flag: train.py --amp. When using bash helper scripts, mixed precision can be enabled with the environment variable AMP=true, for example, AMP=true bash scripts/train.sh, AMP=true bash scripts/inference.sh, etc.

Enabling TF32

TensorFloat-32 (TF32) is the new math mode in NVIDIA A100 GPUs for handling the matrix math also called tensor operations. TF32 running on Tensor Cores in A100 GPUs can provide up to 10x speedups compared to single-precision floating-point math (FP32) on Volta GPUs.

TF32 Tensor Cores can speed up networks using FP32, typically with no loss of accuracy. It is more robust than FP16 for models which require high dynamic range for weights or activations.

For more information, refer to the TensorFloat-32 in the A100 GPU Accelerates AI Training, HPC up to 20x blog post.

TF32 is supported in the NVIDIA Ampere GPU architecture and is enabled by default.

Glossary

Time-channel separable (TCS) convolution\nA module composed mainly of two convolutional layers: a 1D depthwise convolutional layer,\nand a pointwise convolutional layer (Figure 2). The former operates across K time frames, and the latter across all channels. By decoupling time and channel axes, the separable module uses less parameters and calculates the result faster, than it would otherwise would.

Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)\nUses both an acoustic model and a language model to output the transcript of an input audio signal.

Acoustic model\nAssigns a probability distribution over a vocabulary of characters given an audio frame. Typically, a large part of the entire ASR model.

Language model\nAssigns a probability distribution over a sequence of words. Given a sequence of words, it assigns a probability to the whole sequence.

Pre-training\nTraining a model on vast amounts of data on the same (or different) task to build general understandings.

Download and preprocess the dataset.\n No GPU is required for data download and preprocessing.\n It can take several hours to complete, and requires over 250GB of free disk space.\n\n This repository provides scripts to download and extract LibriSpeech [http://www.openslr.org/12](http://www.openslr.org/12). The dataset contains 1000 hours of 16kHz read English speech derived from public domain audiobooks from the LibriVox project and has been carefully segmented and aligned. For more information, see the [LIBRISPEECH: AN ASR CORPUS BASED ON PUBLIC DOMAIN AUDIO BOOKS](http://www.danielpovey.com/files/2015_icassp_librispeech.pdf) paper.\n\n Inside the container, download and extract the datasets into the required format for later training and inference:\n ```bash\n bash scripts/download_librispeech.sh\n ```\n After the data download is complete, the following folders should exist:\n ```bash\n datasets/LibriSpeech/\n |-- dev-clean\n |-- dev-other\n |-- test-clean\n |-- test-other\n |-- train-clean-100\n |-- train-clean-360\n |-- train-other-500\n ```\n\n Since `/datasets/` is mounted to `DATA_DIR` on the host, after the dataset is downloaded it will be accessible from outside of the container at `$DATA_DIR/LibriSpeech`.\n\n Next, convert the data into WAV files:\n ```bash\n bash scripts/preprocess_librispeech.sh\n ```\n\n After the data is converted, the following additional files and folders should exist:\n ```bash\n datasets/LibriSpeech/\n |-- dev-clean-wav\n |-- dev-other-wav\n |-- librispeech-train-clean-100-wav.json\n |-- librispeech-train-clean-360-wav.json\n |-- librispeech-train-other-500-wav.json\n |-- librispeech-dev-clean-wav.json\n |-- librispeech-dev-other-wav.json\n |-- librispeech-test-clean-wav.json\n |-- librispeech-test-other-wav.json\n |-- test-clean-wav\n |-- test-other-wav\n |-- train-clean-100-wav\n |-- train-clean-360-wav\n |-- train-other-500-wav\n ```\n\n5.

We use the concatenation of `train-clean-100`, `train-clean-360`, and `train-other-500` for training and `dev-clean` for validation.\n\nThis repository contains the `scripts/download_librispeech.sh` and `scripts/preprocess_librispeech.sh` scripts that automatically downloads and preprocesses the training, test, and development datasets. By default, data is downloaded to the `/datasets/LibriSpeech` directory. A minimum of 250GB free space is required for download and preprocessing; the final preprocessed dataset is approximately 100GB.\n\n#### Dataset guidelines\n\nThe `scripts/preprocess_librispeech.sh` script converts the input audio files to WAV format with a sample rate of 16kHz. The target transcripts are stripped from whitespace characters, then lower-cased. No offline augmentations are stored on the disk - these are computed online with the DALI library without any impact on training time.\n\nAfter preprocessing, the script creates JSON metadata files with output file paths, sample rate, target transcript and other metadata. These JSON files are used by the training script to identify training and validation datasets.\n\nThe QuartzNet model was tuned on audio signals with a sample rate of 16kHz. If you wish to use a different sampling rate, then some hyperparameters might need to be changed - specifically, the window size and step size.\n\n#### Multi-dataset\n\nTraining scripts in this repository treat the training subsets of LibriSpeech (`train-clean-100`, `train-clean-360`, `train-other-500`) as three independent training datasets.\nIn order to add more datasets, follow the format of LibriSpeech, adjust the provided pre-processing scripts to generate metadata JSON files, and point them with the `TRAIN_MANIFESTS` variable to the `scripts/train.sh` script.\n\n### Training process\n\nTraining is performed using the `train.py` script along with parameters defined in `scripts/train.sh`.\nThe `scripts/train.sh` script runs a job on a single node that trains the QuartzNet model from scratch using LibriSpeech as training data. To make training more efficient, we discard audio samples longer than 16.7 seconds from the training dataset, the total number of these samples is less than 1%. Such filtering does not degrade accuracy, but it allows us to decrease the number of time steps in a batch, which requires less GPU memory and increases training speed.\nApart from the default arguments as listed in the [Parameters](#parameters) section, by default the training script:\n\n* Runs on 8 GPUs with at least 32GB of memory and training/evaluation batch size 48, split over three gradient accumulation steps\n* Uses TF32 precision (A100 GPU) or FP32 (other GPUs)\n* Trains on the concatenation of all 3 LibriSpeech training datasets and evaluates on the LibriSpeech dev-clean dataset\n* Maintains an exponential moving average of parameters for evaluation\n* Has cuDNN benchmark enabled\n* Runs for 260 epochs\n* Uses an initial learning rate of 0.02 and an exponential learning rate decay\n* Saves a checkpoint every 10 epochs\n* Automatically removes old checkpoints and preserves milestone checkpoints\n* Runs evaluation on the development dataset every epoch and at the end of training\n* Maintains a separate checkpoint with the lowest WER on development set\n* Prints out training progress every iteration to `stdout`\n* Creates a DLLogger log file and a TensorBoard log\n* Calculates speed perturbation online during training\n* Uses `SpecAugment` in data pre-processing\n* Filters out audio samples longer than 16.7 seconds\n* Pads each batch so its length is divisible by 16\n* Uses time-channel separable convolutions as described in the paper\n* Uses weight decay of 0.001\n* Uses [Novograd](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1905.11286.pdf) as optimizer with betas=(0.95, 0)\n\nEnabling AMP permits batch size 144 with one gradient accumulation step. Since each batch has to be padded to the longest sequence, all GPUs have to wait for the slowest one, and two accumulation steps are slightly faster.\n\nThe current training setup improves upon the greedy WER [Results](#results) of the QuartzNet paper.\n\n### Inference process\n\nInference is performed using the `inference.py` script along with parameters defined in `scripts/inference.sh`.\nThe `scripts/inference.sh` script runs the job on a single GPU, taking a pre-trained QuartzNet model checkpoint and running it on the specified dataset.\nApart from the default arguments as listed in the [Parameters](#parameters) section, by default, the inference script:\n\n* Evaluates on the LibriSpeech dev-clean dataset and prints out the final word error rate\n* Uses a batch size of 64\n* Creates a log file with progress and results which will be stored in the `results` folder\n* Pads each batch so its length would be divisible by 16\n* Does not use data augmentation\n* Does greedy decoding and optionally saves the transcriptions in the results folder\n* Has the option to save the model output tensors for more complex decoding, for example, beam search\n* Has cuDNN benchmark disabled\n\nTo view all available options for inference, run `python inference.py --help`.","hasAdvanced","performance","### Benchmarking\n\nThe following section shows how to run benchmarks measuring the model performance in training and inference modes.\n\n#### Training performance benchmark\n\nTo benchmark the training performance with a number of specific configurations, run:\n```bash\nGRAD_ACC_SEQ= NUM_GPUS_SEQ= bash scripts/train_benchmark.sh\n```\nfor example:\n```bash\nGRAD_ACC_SEQ=\"12 24\" NUM_GPUS_SEQ=\"4 8\" bash scripts/train_benchmark.sh\n```\n\nThis invocation will measure performance in four setups (two different batch sizes for every single forward/backward pass times two hardware setups).\n\nBy default, this script makes forward/backward pre-allocation passes with all possible audio lengths\nenabling immediate stabilization of training step times in the cuDNN benchmark mode,\nand trains for two epochs on the `train-clean-100` subset of LibriSpeech.\n\n#### Inference performance benchmark\n\nTo benchmark the inference performance on a specific batch size and audio length, run:\n\n```bash\nBATCH_SIZE_SEQ= MAX_DURATION_SEQ= bash scripts/inference_benchmark.sh\n```\n\nfor example:\n```bash\nBATCH_SIZE_SEQ=\"24 48\" MAX_DURATION_SEQ=\"2 7 16.7\" bash scripts/inference_benchmark.sh\n```\n\nThe script runs on a single GPU and evaluates on the dataset of fixed-length utterances shorter than `MAX_DURATION` and padded to that duration.\n\n### Results\n\nThe following sections provide details on how we achieved our performance and accuracy in training and inference.\n\n#### Training accuracy results\n\n##### Training accuracy: NVIDIA DGX A100 (8x A100 80GB)\n\nOur results were obtained by running the `scripts/train.sh` training script in the PyTorch 21.07-py3 NGC container on NVIDIA DGX A100 (8x A100 80GB) GPUs.\n\n| Number of GPUs | Batch size per GPU | Precision | dev-clean WER | dev-other WER | test-clean WER | test-other WER | Time to train |\n|-----|-----|-------|-------|-------|------|-------|------|\n| 8 | 144 | mixed | 3.47 | 10.84 | 3.69 | 10.69 | 34 h |\n\nThe table reports word error rate (WER) of the acoustic model with greedy decoding on all LibriSpeech dev and test datasets for mixed precision training.\n\n##### Training stability test\n\nThe following table compares greedy decoding word error rates across 8 different training runs with different seeds for mixed precision training.\n\n| DGX A100 80GB, FP16, 8x GPU | Seed #1 | Seed #2 | Seed #3 | Seed #4 | Seed #5 | Seed #6 | Seed #7 | Seed #8 | Mean | Std |\n|-----------:|----------:|----------:|----------:|----------:|----------:|----------:|----------:|----------:|-------:|------:|\n| dev-clean | 3.57 | 3.48 | 3.54 | 3.48 | 3.47 | 3.69 | 3.51 | 3.59 | 3.54 | 0.07 |\n| dev-other | 10.68 | 10.78 | 10.47 | 10.72 | 10.84 | 11.03 | 10.67 | 10.86 | 10.76 | 0.15 |\n| test-clean | 3.70 | 3.82 | 3.79 | 3.84 | 3.69 | 4.03 | 3.82 | 3.80 | 3.81 | 0.10 |\n| test-other | 10.75 | 10.62 | 10.54 | 10.90 | 10.69 | 11.14 | 10.41 | 10.82 | 10.73 | 0.21 |\n\n#### Training performance results\n\n##### Training performance: NVIDIA DGX A100 (8x A100 80GB)\n\nOur results were obtained by running:\n```bash\nAMP=true NUM_GPUS_SEQ=\"1\" GRAD_ACC_SEQ=\"16 24\" bash scripts/train_benchmark.sh\nAMP=true NUM_GPUS_SEQ=\"4\" GRAD_ACC_SEQ=\"4 6\" bash scripts/train_benchmark.sh\nAMP=true NUM_GPUS_SEQ=\"8\" GRAD_ACC_SEQ=\"2 3\" bash scripts/train_benchmark.sh\nAMP=false NUM_GPUS_SEQ=\"1\" GRAD_ACC_SEQ=\"16 24\" bash scripts/train_benchmark.sh\nAMP=false NUM_GPUS_SEQ=\"4\" GRAD_ACC_SEQ=\"4 6\" bash scripts/train_benchmark.sh\nAMP=false NUM_GPUS_SEQ=\"8\" GRAD_ACC_SEQ=\"2 3\" bash scripts/train_benchmark.sh\n```\nin the PyTorch 21.07-py3 NGC container on NVIDIA DGX A100 with (8x A100 80GB) GPUs.

[NGC](https://catalog.ngc.nvidia.com/orgs/nvidia/teams/dle/resources/quartznet-pyt)\n\n\nThis repository provides an implementation of the QuartzNet model in PyTorch from the paper [QuartzNet: Deep Automatic Speech Recognition with 1D Time-Channel Separable Convolutions](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1910.10261).\nThe QuartzNet model is an end-to-end neural acoustic model for automatic speech recognition (ASR), that provides high accuracy at a low memory footprint. The QuartzNet architecture of convolutional layers was designed to facilitate fast GPU inference, by allowing whole sub-blocks to be fused into a single GPU kernel. This is important for meeting strict real-time requirements of ASR systems in deployment.\n\nThis repository is a PyTorch implementation of QuartzNet and provides scripts to train the QuartzNet 10x5 model from scratch on the [LibriSpeech](http://www.openslr.org/12) dataset to achieve the greedy decoding results improved upon the original paper.\nThe repository is self-contained and includes data preparation scripts, training, and inference scripts.\nBoth training and inference scripts offer the option to use Automatic Mixed Precision (AMP) to benefit from Tensor Cores for better performance.\n\nIn addition to providing the hyperparameters for training a model checkpoint, we publish a thorough inference analysis across different NVIDIA GPU platforms, for example, DGX-2, NVIDIA A100 GPU, and T4.\n\nThis model is trained with mixed precision using Tensor Cores on Volta, Turing, and the NVIDIA Ampere GPU architectures. Therefore, researchers can get results [1.4]x faster than training without Tensor Cores, while experiencing the benefits of mixed precision training. This model is tested against each NGC monthly container release to ensure consistent accuracy and performance over time.\n\n### Model architecture\n\nQuartzNet is an end-to-end neural acoustic model that is based on efficient, time-channel separable convolutions (Figure 1).\nIn the audio processing stage, each frame is transformed into mel-scale spectrogram features, which the acoustic model takes as input and outputs a probability distribution over the vocabulary for each frame.\n\n

\n\n### Default configuration\n\nThe following features were implemented in this model:\n* GPU-supported feature extraction with data augmentation options [SpecAugment](https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.08779) and [Cutout](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1708.04552.pdf) using the DALI library\n* offline and online [Speed Perturbation](https://www.danielpovey.com/files/2015_interspeech_augmentation.pdf) using the DALI library\n* data-parallel multi-GPU training and evaluation\n* AMP with dynamic loss scaling for Tensor Core training\n* FP16 inference\n\n### Feature support matrix\n\n| **Feature** | **QuartzNet** |\n|---------------|---------------|\n|[Apex AMP](https://nvidia.github.io/apex/amp.html) | Yes |\n|[DALI](https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/dali/release-notes/index.html) | Yes |\n\n#### Features\n\n**DALI**\nNVIDIA Data Loading Library (DALI) is a collection of highly optimized building blocks, and an execution engine, to accelerate the pre-processing of the input data for deep learning applications. DALI provides both the performance and the flexibility for accelerating different data pipelines as a single library. This single library can then be easily integrated into different deep learning training and inference applications. For details, see example sources in this repository or see the [DALI documentation](https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/dali/index.html).\n\n**Automatic Mixed Precision (AMP)**\nComputation graphs can be modified by PyTorch on runtime to support mixed precision training. A detailed explanation of mixed precision can be found in the next section.\n\n### Mixed precision training\n\nMixed precision is the combined use of different numerical precisions in a computational method. [Mixed precision](https://arxiv.org/abs/1710.03740) training offers significant computational speedup by performing operations in half-precision format while storing minimal information in single-precision to retain as much information as possible in critical parts of the network. Since the introduction of [Tensor Cores](https://developer.nvidia.com/tensor-cores) in Volta, and following with both the Turing and Ampere architectures, significant training speedups are experienced by switching to mixed precision -- up to 3x overall speedup on the most arithmetically intense model architectures. Using [mixed precision training](https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/performance/mixed-precision-training/index.html) previously required two steps:\n1. Porting the model to use the FP16 data type where appropriate.\n2. Adding loss scaling to preserve small gradient values.\n\nFor information about:\n- How to train using mixed precision, see the [Mixed Precision Training](https://arxiv.org/abs/1710.03740) paper and [Training With Mixed Precision](https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/performance/mixed-precision-training/index.html) documentation.\n- Techniques used for mixed precision training, see the [Mixed-Precision Training of Deep Neural Networks](https://devblogs.nvidia.com/mixed-precision-training-deep-neural-networks/) blog.\n- APEX tools for mixed precision training, see the [NVIDIA Apex: Tools for Easy Mixed-Precision Training in PyTorch](https://devblogs.nvidia.com/apex-pytorch-easy-mixed-precision-training/).\n\n#### Enabling mixed precision\n\nFor training, mixed precision can be enabled by setting the flag: `train.py --amp`. When using bash helper scripts, mixed precision can be enabled with the environment variable `AMP=true`, for example, `AMP=true bash scripts/train.sh`, `AMP=true bash scripts/inference.sh`, etc.\n\n#### Enabling TF32\n\nTensorFloat-32 (TF32) is the new math mode in [NVIDIA A100](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/a100/) GPUs for handling the matrix math also called tensor operations. TF32 running on Tensor Cores in A100 GPUs can provide up to 10x speedups compared to single-precision floating-point math (FP32) on Volta GPUs.\n\nTF32 Tensor Cores can speed up networks using FP32, typically with no loss of accuracy. It is more robust than FP16 for models which require high dynamic range for weights or activations.\n\nFor more information, refer to the [TensorFloat-32 in the A100 GPU Accelerates AI Training, HPC up to 20x](https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2020/05/14/tensorfloat-32-precision-format/) blog post.\n\nTF32 is supported in the NVIDIA Ampere GPU architecture and is enabled by default.\n\n### Glossary\n\n**Time-channel separable (TCS) convolution**\nA module composed mainly of two convolutional layers: a 1D depthwise convolutional layer,\nand a pointwise convolutional layer (Figure 2). The former operates across K time frames, and the latter across all channels. By decoupling time and channel axes, the separable module uses less parameters and calculates the result faster, than it would otherwise would.\n\n

\n\n**Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)**\nUses both an acoustic model and a language model to output the transcript of an input audio signal.\n\n**Acoustic model**\nAssigns a probability distribution over a vocabulary of characters given an audio frame. Typically, a large part of the entire ASR model.\n\n**Language model**\nAssigns a probability distribution over a sequence of words. Given a sequence of words, it assigns a probability to the whole sequence.\n\n**Pre-training**\nTraining a model on vast amounts of data on the same (or different) task to build general understandings.\n\n### Language support and NeMo compatibility\n\nThis repository allows to train and run models in laguages other than English.\n\nDuring inference, QuartzNet models trained with [NVIDIA NeMo](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo) can also be used, for instance one of pre-trained models\nfor Catalan, French, German, Italian, Mandarin Chinese, Polish, Russian or Spanish available on [NGC](https://ngc.nvidia.com/).\nTo download automatically, run:\n```bash\nbash scripts/download_quartznet.sh [ca|fr|de|it|zh|pl|ru|es]\n```\n\nPre-trained models can be explicitly converted from the `.nemo` checkpoint format to `.pt` and vice versa.\nFor more details, run:\n```bash\npython nemo_dle_model_converter.py --help\n```","displayName","QuartzNet for PyTorch",["D",1680632047428],"publisher","NVIDIA Deep Learning Examples","latestVersion","collectionCounts","imageUrl","/api/image/nvidia/dle/resources/quartznet_pyt","rawImageUrl","https://assets.nvidiagrid.net/ngc/logos/Deep-Learning-Examples.png","canGuestDownload","latestVersionSizeInBytes","licenseTerms","isMultinodeEnabled","isMultiArchitecture","bias","explainability","privacy","safetyAndSecurity","featureLabels",[],"displayLabels",[280],"policyLabels",[],"systemLabels",[],"products",[],"hasNimMetadata",{"_249":281,"_282":283,"_284":285,"_286":87},"Automatic Speech Recognition","value","uscs_automatic_speech_recognition","filter",{"_287":288,"_282":283},"category","field","application",{"_156":1465,"_158":1466},"ngcApps",[1418],"csaApiBaseUrl","https://www.nvidia.com/ai-agents/csa-agent/dcsm","datadogRum",{"_1399":1400,"_1401":1402,"_1403":1404,"_1405":1406,"_1407":300,"_109":324,"_1408":1409,"_1410":60,"_1411":90,"_1412":90,"_1413":1414,"_1415":90,"_1416":1417},"amplitude",{"_1396":1397,"_998":-7,"_1398":35},"disableJs","environment","prod","featureFlagsBlob","JTdCJTIydGVzdEZsYWclMjIlM0FmYWxzZSUyQyUyMnNob3dTZWFyY2hMYWJlbFNldEZpbHRlcnMlMjIlM0FmYWxzZSUyQyUyMmNoaW5hTmltRGlzdHJpYnV0b3JzUmVkZXNpZ24lMjIlM0F0cnVlJTJDJTIyZW5hYmxlQ3NhV2lkZ2V0JTIyJTNBZmFsc2UlMkMlMjJlbmFibGVQcm9kdWN0R3JvdXBpbmdCeVN1YnNjcmlwdGlvbiUyMiUzQWZhbHNlJTJDJTIyY29udGFpbmVyU2Nhbm5pbmdSZWRlc2lnbk0xJTIyJTNBdHJ1ZSU3RA==","featureFlagsGuarded","isDevLikeEnv","isPlaywright","isMobileDevice","categorizedOrgs",{"_1390":1391,"_1392":1393,"_1394":1395},"currentOrgContext","currentContextRoles",[],"enterpriseOrgs",[],"locale","en","ngcApiOrigin","ngcHelmOrigin","origin","https://catalog.ngc.nvidia.com","usesMocks","theme","year",2026,"1.7.3","defaultSearchSuggestions",{"_1273":405,"_1274":1275,"_1276":1277,"_1278":1279},"announcements",[],"consentState",{"_362":1263,"_1264":90,"_1265":35,"_1266":35,"_1267":1268},"consentConfig",{"_344":345,"_346":347,"_348":349,"_350":351,"_352":353,"_354":355,"_356":357,"_358":359,"_360":361,"_362":363},"showContactAdmin",1784308430315,[],[],[338,339,340,341,342,343],{"_49":63,"_51":73,"_53":151,"_55":-5,"_57":-5,"_59":60},{"_49":63,"_51":70,"_53":151,"_55":-5,"_57":-5,"_59":60},{"_49":63,"_51":68,"_53":151,"_55":-5,"_57":-5,"_59":60},{"_49":63,"_51":64,"_53":151,"_55":-5,"_57":-5,"_59":60},{"_49":61,"_51":62,"_53":151,"_55":-5,"_57":-5,"_59":60},{"_49":50,"_51":52,"_53":151,"_55":-5,"_57":-5,"_59":60},"mainInfoText","We and our third-party partners (including social media, advertising, and analytics partners) use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect, store, monitor, and process certain information about you when you visit our website.
