ResNet-50: Optimized for AMD ROCm

ResNet-50 is a 50-layer deep residual network for image classification over the 1000 ImageNet categories. This repository packages inference for image classification using ONNX Runtime, exported and validated for AMD ROCm so it runs efficiently on AMD GPUs, CPUs, and NPUs.

This is based on the implementation of ResNet-50 found here. This repository contains configurations and scripts optimized for AMD® ROCm™ platforms. You can use the resnet-50 AMD scripts to reproduce results or export with custom configurations.

Task Overview

Task: Image classification

Dataset: ImageNet-1000 label space (a small sample set is staged under dataset/samples/ for visual evaluation)

Output metrics: Throughput (inferences/sec), latency (mean/P95/P99 ms), per-operator profiling breakdown

AMD ROCm Optimization

This model export has been adapted and validated for AMD Instinct™ / Radeon™ GPUs running ROCm, as well as AMD CPUs and AMD Ryzen AI NPUs. Key points:

• Validated backends: ONNX Runtime across CPU (native execution provider), GPU (MIGraphX execution provider, ROCm-based), and NPU (VitisAI execution provider).
• No code changes required versus the upstream microsoft/resnet-50 export — only environment/runtime configuration differs.
• CPU fallback path supported for environments without a ROCm-capable GPU.
