| 30 | + |
| 31 | +## New Freatures and Improvements |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +* Auto-generated model configuration enables |
| 34 | + [dynamic batching](https://github.com/triton-inference-server/server/blob/r22.06/docs/model_configuration.md#default-max-batch-size-and-dynamic-batcher) |
| 35 | + in supported models by default. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +* Python backend models now support |
| 38 | + [auto-generated model configuration](https://github.com/triton-inference-server/python_backend/tree/r22.06#auto_complete_config). |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +* [Decoupled API](https://github.com/triton-inference-server/server/blob/r22.06/docs/decoupled_models.md#python-model-using-python-backend) |
| 41 | + support in Python Backend model is out of beta. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +* Updated I/O tensors |
| 44 | + [naming convention](https://github.com/triton-inference-server/server/blob/main/docs/model_configuration.md#special-conventions-for-pytorch-backend) |
| 45 | + for serving TorchScript models via PyTorch backend. |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +* Improvements to Perf Analyzer stability and profiling logic. |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +* Refer to the 22.06 column of the |
| 50 | + [Frameworks Support Matrix](https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/frameworks/support-matrix/index.html) |
| 51 | + for container image versions on which the 22.06 inference server container is based. |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +## Known Issues |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +* Perf Analyzer stability criteria has been changed which may result in |
| 57 | + reporting instability for scenarios that were previously considered stable. |
| 58 | + This change has been made to improve the accuracy of Perf Analyzer results. |
| 59 | + If you observe this message, it can be resolved by increasing the |
| 60 | + `--measurement-interval` in the time windows mode or |
| 61 | + `--measurement-request-count` in the count windows mode. |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +* 22.06 is the last release that defaults to |
| 64 | + [TensorFlow version 1](https://github.com/triton-inference-server/tensorflow_backend/tree/r22.06#--backend-configtensorflowversionint). |
| 65 | + From 22.07 onwards Triton will change the default TensorFlow version to 2.X. |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +* Triton PIP wheels for ARM SBSA are not available from PyPI and pip will |
| 68 | + install an incorrect Jetson version of Triton for Arm SBSA. |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | + The correct wheel file can be pulled directly from the Arm SBSA SDK image and |
| 71 | + manually installed. |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +* Traced models in PyTorch seem to create overflows when int8 tensor values are |
| 74 | + transformed to int32 on the GPU. |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | + Refer to issue [pytorch#66930](https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/66930) |
| 77 | + for more information. |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +* Triton cannot retrieve GPU metrics with MIG-enabled GPU devices (A100 and A30). |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +* Triton metrics might not work if the host machine is running a separate DCGM |
| 82 | + agent on bare-metal or in a container. |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +* Running a PyTorch TorchScript model using the PyTorch backend, where multiple |
| 85 | + instances of a model are configured can lead to a slowdown in model execution |
| 86 | + due to the following PyTorch issue: |
| 87 | + [pytorch#27902](https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/27902). |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +* Starting from 22.02, the Triton container, which uses the 22.02 or above |
| 90 | + PyTorch container, will report an error during model loading in the PyTorch |
| 91 | + backend when using scripted models that were exported in the legacy format |
| 92 | + (using our 19.09 or previous PyTorch NGC containers corresponding to |
| 93 | + PyTorch 1.2.0 or previous releases). |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | + To load the model successfully in Triton, you need to export the model again |
| 96 | + by using a recent version of PyTorch. |
