		**	kwargs )

Compile a model into a Mobilint eXeCUtable (MXQ) package for execution on Mobilint NPUs.

Parameters

model	string or model instance. Model path. When using backend="onnx", this should be the path to an ONNX model file. When backend is "torchscript", provide a TorchScript module; when "torch", provide a standard PyTorch model. For backend="tf", pass the directory that contains the TensorFlow SavedModel graph and assets. For backend="tflite", pass the TF Lite model path.
calib_data_path	string. Path to the calibration dataset. Accepts either a text/json file that lists NumPy files or a directory that contains the pre-processed NumPy files.
save_subgraph_type	int. Controls optional MBLT subgraph exports: 0 disables exports; 1 saves only the graph structure; 2 saves graph structure plus weights; 3 saves the graph structure split into multiple subgraphs; 4 saves both structure and weights split into multiple subgraphs.
output_subgraph_path	string. Destination path for the exported .mblt file when save_subgraph_type is 1, 2, 3, or 4. The resulting file can be used for visualization.
model_nickname	string. Friendly name stored in qubee. Defaults to the model basename (for example, the file "/workspace/onnx/resnet50.onnx" becomes "resnet50"). Falls back to "temporary" when it cannot be inferred.
save_path	string. Output MXQ filename. Defaults to "{model_nickname}.mxq" when omitted.
backend	string. Framework used to generate the Mobilint IR. Must be one of "onnx", "tf", "tflite", "torchscript", or "torch". Defaults to "onnx".
device	string. Compilation and inference device: "cpu" or "gpu". Defaults to "cpu".
feed_dict	dict. Example input tensors for shape inference and inference validation.
dynamic_axes	dict. Marks model axes as dynamic. Keys are input names and values map dimension indices to aliases (for example {"input": {2: "seq_len"}}).
in_dformats	dict. Describes input tensor data formats.
save_sample	bool. Stores input/output tensors in ./sampleInOut when True to aid debugging. Defaults to False.
inference_scheme	string. NPU inference scheme. One of "single", "multi", "global", "global4", or "global8".
yolo_decode_include	bool. Determines whether YOLO decode runs on NPU.
use_random_calib	bool. Generates random calibration data to validate model compilability. Defaults to False.
cpu_offload	bool. Enables CPU offloading during NPU inference. Defaults to False.
singlecore_compile	bool. Uses singlecore compilation to maximize DRAM usage. Defaults to False.
optimize_option	int. Compiler optimization strategy selector.
sample_dtype	string. Data type for saved sample inference outputs: "float" or "int8".
preprocess_dict	int. Identifier for additional pre-processing metadata.
buffer_mode	int. Buffer serialization mode: 0 uses a naïve buffer, 1 uses an mmap-backed buffer. Defaults to 1.
start_dram_offset	int. Start Dram Address Offset (default = 0).
input_shape_dict	dict. Optional HWC input shape dictionary used for multi-shape compilation (for example {"input0": [[224, 224, 3], [256, 256, 3]]}).
compile_config	string. Path to JSON configuration file containing all quantization-related settings (resourceManagement, quantization, advancedQuantization, llmConfig). If provided, this takes precedence over individual sub-config parameters.
resource_management_config	ResourceManagementConfig. Resource management configuration object.
quantization_config	QuantizationConfig. Quantization configuration object.
advanced_quantization_config	AdvancedQuantizationConfig. Advanced quantization configuration object.
llm_config	LlmConfig. LLM configuration object.
kwargs	dict. Additional compiler arguments propagated to the backend implementation. Moreover, If you want to override only a subset of configuration values, you can pass them to mxq_compile as keyword arguments (kwargs), and they will be applied. Note that AdvancedQuantizationConfig and its sub-configurations are not updated automatically from kwargs. In contrast, ResourceManagementConfig, QuantizationConfig, and LlmConfig support automatic updates via each configuration class’s from_kwargs method. See Example 3 below for a usage example.

Returns

None.

Using configuration

There are two ways to configure quantization settings:

1. Load all settings from a JSON config file:
   from qubee import mxq_compile

   mxq_compile(

   model="path/to/model.onnx",

   calib_data_path="path/to/calib",

   compile_config="path/to/config.json",

   device="gpu",

   )
2. Pass individual sub-config objects:
   from qubee import mxq_compile

   from qubee.configs import (

   ResourceManagementConfig,

   QuantizationConfig,

   AdvancedQuantizationConfig,

   LlmConfig,

   )

   resource_mgmt = ResourceManagementConfig(weight_dtype="float32")

   quant_cfg = QuantizationConfig(...)

   adv_quant_cfg = AdvancedQuantizationConfig(...)

   llm_cfg = LlmConfig(...)

   mxq_compile(

   model="path/to/model.onnx",

   calib_data_path="path/to/calib",

   resource_management_config=resource_mgmt,

   quantization_config=quant_cfg,

   advanced_quantization_config=adv_quant_cfg,

   llm_config=llm_cfg,

   device="gpu",

   )

   qubee.configs

   Definition compile_config.py:1
3. Automatically applied partial configuration overrides:
   from qubee import mxq_compile

   mxq_compile(

   model="path/to/model.onnx",

   calib_data_path="path/to/calib",

   quantization_method=1, # per channel quantization

   quantization_mode=2, # max percentile quantization

   percentile=0.999, # percentile value for max percentile quantization

   quantization_output=0, # per layer quantization for the output layer

   device="gpu",

   )
   Please refer to the mxq_compile function and the quantization configuration section for the meaning of the quantization-related numeric values.

Compiling models with custom inputs (ONNX/Torch/TensorFlow)

Provide NumPy inputs whenever the model omits shape information so that qubee can infer unknown dimensions and data formats.

from qubee import mxq_compile

import numpy as np

example_input = {

"input_node_name_1": np.random.randn(1, 3, 224, 224).astype(np.float32),

"input_node_name_2": np.random.randn(1, 8, 224, 224).astype(np.float32),

"input_node_name_3": np.random.randn(1, 4, 56, 56).astype(np.float32),

}

in_dformats = {

"input_node_name_1": "NCHW",

"input_node_name_2": "NCHW",

"input_node_name_3": "NCHW",

}

onnx_model_path = "path/to/your/model.onnx"

mxq_compile(

model=onnx_model_path,

feed_dict=example_input,

in_dformats=in_dformats,

backend="onnx",

compile_config="path/to/config.json",

)

◆ make_calib_man()

qubee.calibration.make_calib_data.make_calib_man	(		pre_ftn,
		str	data_dir,
		str	save_dir,
		str	save_name,
		str	anno_json = None,
		str	file_format = "%012d.jpg",
		int	max_size = -1,
		bool	remove_npy = False,
		int	seed = 2023,
		bool	save_calib_msg = False,
		str	msg_path = None )

From images and a user-provided preprocessing function, generate calibration NumPy files and a manifest.

Parameters

pre_ftn	Callable. Pre-processing function that accepts an image path and returns a NumPy array.
data_dir	string. Directory containing the raw calibration images.
save_dir	string. Directory in which to store the generated NumPy files and metadata text file.
save_name	string. Basename for the saved assets. NumPy files are written to {save_dir}/{save_name}_npy and the manifest to {save_dir}/{save_name}.txt. Defaults to the basename of data_dir when omitted.
anno_json	string. Optional COCO-style annotation file. When provided, samples are randomly selected while maintaining class balance.
file_format	string. Filename format that uses image_idx (for example "%012d.jpg").
max_size	int. Maximum number of calibration samples. A value of -1 disables the limit.
remove_npy	bool. Remove existing NumPy outputs before generating new data.
seed	int. Random seed applied to sampling and class-balanced selection. Defaults to 2023.

msg_path	string. Explicit MSGpack output path. When omitted, the path is auto-generated by dataset name and sample count.

Returns

string. Path to the generated text file that lists the preprocessed NumPy samples.

Note

Calibration samples are written as float32 NumPy arrays derived from the pre_ftn output. When max_size is positive and the dataset is larger, a random subset is used. COCO annotations override this sampling to balance categories.

Returns

string. Path to the manifest text file that lists the generated NumPy samples.

Note

The preprocessing pipeline is constructed through preproc_builder and executed via make_calib_man. Use the YAML schema to combine primitives such as GetImage, Resize, Normalize, Pad, CenterCrop, and SetOrder in a Pre-Order list.
