NVIDIA Triton Inference Server

The NVIDIA Triton Inference Server provides a cloud inferencing solution optimized for NVIDIA GPUs. The server provides an inference service via an HTTP or GRPC endpoint, allowing remote clients to request inferencing for any model being managed by the server. For edge deployments, Triton Server is also available as a shared library with an API that allows the full functionality of the server to be included directly in an application.

What's New In 1.14.0

• Support for the legacy V1 HTTP/REST, GRPC and corresponding client libraries
  is released on GitHub branch r20.06-v1 and as NGC container
  20.06-v1-py3.

Known Issues

• TensorRT reformat-free I/O is not supported.
• Some versions of Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) contain a regression in the handling of LD_LIBRARY_PATH that prevents the inference server container from running correctly (see issue 141255952). Use a GKE 1.13 or earlier version or a GKE 1.14.6 or later version to avoid this issue.
