Bundled Program – a Tool for ExecuTorch Model Validation¶

Introduction¶

BundledProgram is a wrapper around the core ExecuTorch program designed to help users wrapping test cases with the model they deploy. BundledProgram is not necessarily a core part of the program and not needed for its execution, but is particularly important for various other use-cases, such as model correctness evaluation, including e2e testing during the model bring-up process.

Overall, the procedure can be broken into two stages, and in each stage we are supporting:

Emit stage: Bundling the test I/O cases along with the ExecuTorch program, serializing into flatbuffer.
Runtime stage: Accessing, executing, and verifying the bundled test cases during runtime.

Emit stage¶

This stage mainly focuses on the creation of a BundledProgram and dumping it out to the disk as a flatbuffer file. The main procedure is as follow:

Create a model and emit its ExecuTorch program.
Construct a List[MethodTestSuite] to record all test cases that needs to be bundled.
Generate BundledProgram by using the emited model and List[MethodTestSuite].
Serialize the BundledProgram and dump it out to the disk.

Step 1: Create a Model and Emit its ExecuTorch Program.¶

ExecuTorch Program can be emitted from user’s model by using ExecuTorch APIs. Follow the Generate Sample ExecuTorch program or Exporting to ExecuTorch tutorial.

Step 2: Construct `List[MethodTestSuite]` to hold test info¶

In BundledProgram, we create two new classes, MethodTestCase and MethodTestSuite, to hold essential info for ExecuTorch program verification.

MethodTestCase represents a single testcase. Each MethodTestCase contains inputs and expected outputs for a single execution.

MethodTestSuite contains all testing info for single method, including a str representing method name, and a List[MethodTestCase] for all testcases:

Since each model may have multiple inference methods, we need to generate List[MethodTestSuite] to hold all essential infos.

Step 3: Generate `BundledProgram`¶

We provide BundledProgram class under executorch/devtools/bundled_program/core.py to bundled the ExecutorchProgram-like variable, including ExecutorchProgram, MultiMethodExecutorchProgram or ExecutorchProgramManager, with the List[MethodTestSuite]:

Construtor of BundledProgram will do sannity check internally to see if the given List[MethodTestSuite] matches the given Program’s requirements. Specifically:

The method_names of each MethodTestSuite in List[MethodTestSuite] for should be also in program. Please notice that it is no need to set testcases for every method in the Program.
The metadata of each testcase should meet the requirement of the coresponding inference methods input.

Step 4: Serialize `BundledProgram` to Flatbuffer.¶

To serialize BundledProgram to make runtime APIs use it, we provide two APIs, both under executorch/devtools/bundled_program/serialize/__init__.py.

Emit Example¶

Here is a flow highlighting how to generate a BundledProgram given a PyTorch model and the representative inputs we want to test it along with.

import torch

from executorch.exir import to_edge
from executorch.devtools import BundledProgram

from executorch.devtools.bundled_program.config import MethodTestCase, MethodTestSuite
from executorch.devtools.bundled_program.serialize import (
    serialize_from_bundled_program_to_flatbuffer,
)
from torch.export import export, export_for_training


# Step 1: ExecuTorch Program Export
class SampleModel(torch.nn.Module):
    """An example model with multi-methods. Each method has multiple input and single output"""

    def __init__(self) -> None:
        super().__init__()
        self.a: torch.Tensor = 3 * torch.ones(2, 2, dtype=torch.int32)
        self.b: torch.Tensor = 2 * torch.ones(2, 2, dtype=torch.int32)

    def forward(self, x: torch.Tensor, q: torch.Tensor) -> torch.Tensor:
        z = x.clone()
        torch.mul(self.a, x, out=z)
        y = x.clone()
        torch.add(z, self.b, out=y)
        torch.add(y, q, out=y)
        return y


# Inference method name of SampleModel we want to bundle testcases to.
# Notices that we do not need to bundle testcases for every inference methods.
method_name = "forward"
model = SampleModel()

# Inputs for graph capture.
capture_input = (
    (torch.rand(2, 2) - 0.5).to(dtype=torch.int32),
    (torch.rand(2, 2) - 0.5).to(dtype=torch.int32),
)

# Export method's FX Graph.
method_graph = export(
    export_for_training(model, capture_input).module(),
    capture_input,
)


# Emit the traced method into ET Program.
et_program = to_edge(method_graph).to_executorch()

# Step 2: Construct MethodTestSuite for Each Method

# Prepare the Test Inputs.

# Number of input sets to be verified
n_input = 10

# Input sets to be verified.
inputs = [
    # Each list below is a individual input set.
    # The number of inputs, dtype and size of each input follow Program's spec.
    [
        (torch.rand(2, 2) - 0.5).to(dtype=torch.int32),
        (torch.rand(2, 2) - 0.5).to(dtype=torch.int32),
    ]
    for _ in range(n_input)
]

# Generate Test Suites
method_test_suites = [
    MethodTestSuite(
        method_name=method_name,
        test_cases=[
            MethodTestCase(
                inputs=input,
                expected_outputs=(getattr(model, method_name)(*input), ),
            )
            for input in inputs
        ],
    ),
]

# Step 3: Generate BundledProgram
bundled_program = BundledProgram(et_program, method_test_suites)

# Step 4: Serialize BundledProgram to flatbuffer.
serialized_bundled_program = serialize_from_bundled_program_to_flatbuffer(
    bundled_program
)
save_path = "bundled_program.bpte"
with open(save_path, "wb") as f:
    f.write(serialized_bundled_program)

We can also regenerate BundledProgram from flatbuffer file if needed:

from executorch.devtools.bundled_program.serialize import deserialize_from_flatbuffer_to_bundled_program
save_path = "bundled_program.bpte"
with open(save_path, "rb") as f:
    serialized_bundled_program = f.read()

regenerate_bundled_program = deserialize_from_flatbuffer_to_bundled_program(serialized_bundled_program)

Runtime Stage¶

This stage mainly focuses on executing the model with the bundled inputs and and comparing the model’s output with the bundled expected output. We provide multiple APIs to handle the key parts of it.

Get ExecuTorch Program Pointer from `BundledProgram` Buffer¶

We need the pointer to ExecuTorch program to do the execution. To unify the process of loading and executing BundledProgram and Program flatbuffer, we create an API:

Here’s an example of how to use the get_program_data API:

// Assume that the user has read the contents of the file into file_data using
// whatever method works best for their application. The file could contain
// either BundledProgram data or Program data.
void* file_data = ...;
size_t file_data_len = ...;

// If file_data contains a BundledProgram, get_program_data() will return a
// pointer to the Program data embedded inside it. Otherwise it will return
// file_data, which already pointed to Program data.
const void* program_ptr;
size_t program_len;
status = executorch::bundled_program::get_program_data(
    file_data, file_data_len, &program_ptr, &program_len);
ET_CHECK_MSG(
    status == Error::Ok,
    "get_program_data() failed with status 0x%" PRIx32,
    status);

Load Bundled Input to Method¶

To execute the program on the bundled input, we need to load the bundled input into the method. Here we provided an API called executorch::bundled_program::load_bundled_input:

Verify the Method’s Output.¶

We call executorch::bundled_program::verify_method_outputs to verify the method’s output with bundled expected outputs. Here’s the details of this API:

Runtime Example¶

Here we provide an example about how to run the bundled program step by step. Most of the code is borrowed from executor_runner, and please review that file if you need more info and context:

// method_name is the name for the method we want to test
// memory_manager is the executor::MemoryManager variable for executor memory allocation.
// program is the ExecuTorch program.
Result<Method> method = program->load_method(method_name, &memory_manager);

ET_CHECK_MSG(
    method.ok(),
    "load_method() failed with status 0x%" PRIx32,
    method.error());

// Load testset_idx-th input in the buffer to plan
status = executorch::bundled_program::load_bundled_input(
        *method,
        program_data.bundled_program_data(),
        FLAGS_testset_idx);
ET_CHECK_MSG(
    status == Error::Ok,
    "load_bundled_input failed with status 0x%" PRIx32,
    status);

// Execute the plan
status = method->execute();
ET_CHECK_MSG(
    status == Error::Ok,
    "method->execute() failed with status 0x%" PRIx32,
    status);

// Verify the result.
status = executorch::bundled_program::verify_method_outputs(
        *method,
        program_data.bundled_program_data(),
        FLAGS_testset_idx,
        FLAGS_rtol,
        FLAGS_atol);
ET_CHECK_MSG(
    status == Error::Ok,
    "Bundle verification failed with status 0x%" PRIx32,
    status);

Common Errors¶

Errors will be raised if List[MethodTestSuites] doesn’t match the Program. Here’re two common situations:

Test input doesn’t match model’s requirement.¶

Each inference method of PyTorch model has its own requirement for the inputs, like number of input, the dtype of each input, etc. BundledProgram will raise error if test input not meet the requirement.

Here’s the example of the dtype of test input not meet model’s requirement:

import torch

from executorch.exir import to_edge
from executorch.devtools import BundledProgram

from executorch.devtools.bundled_program.config import MethodTestCase, MethodTestSuite
from torch.export import export, export_for_training


class Module(torch.nn.Module):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.a = 3 * torch.ones(2, 2, dtype=torch.float)
        self.b = 2 * torch.ones(2, 2, dtype=torch.float)

    def forward(self, x):
        out_1 = torch.ones(2, 2, dtype=torch.float)
        out_2 = torch.ones(2, 2, dtype=torch.float)
        torch.mul(self.a, x, out=out_1)
        torch.add(out_1, self.b, out=out_2)
        return out_2


model = Module()
method_names = ["forward"]

inputs = (torch.ones(2, 2, dtype=torch.float), )

# Find each method of model needs to be traced my its name, export its FX Graph.
method_graph = export(
    export_for_training(model, inputs).module(),
    inputs,
)

et_program = to_edge(method_graph).to_executorch()

n_input = 10

# To simplify, here we create same inputs for all methods.
inputs = {
    # Inference method name corresponding to its test cases.
    m_name: [
        # NOTE: executorch program needs torch.float, but here is torch.int
        [
            torch.randint(-5, 5, (2, 2), dtype=torch.int),
        ]
        for _ in range(n_input)
    ]
    for m_name in method_names
}

method_test_suites = [
    MethodTestSuite(

Another common error would be the method name in any MethodTestSuite does not exist in Model. BundledProgram will raise error and show the non-exist method name:
