YOLO26m (ONNX) – Renesas X5H

Introduction

This repository hosts YOLO26m, targeting the Renesas R-Car X5H platform for object-detection inference on the NPX6 NPU.

Model Architecture: YOLO26 (medium variant) — the latest Ultralytics single-stage real-time object detector family, offered here at the medium ("m") scale
Source Model: ultralytics/yolo26m
Task: object-detection (dataset: coco)

Deployment Flow

The FP32 ONNX model is auto-cast to INT8 by the Renesas MWMX toolchain at compile time — no separate quantization step is required.

Provided Artifacts

Artifact	Status	Notes
FP32 (ONNX)	⏳ Pending	`fp32/yolo26m.onnx` — to be added; will be auto-cast to INT8 by the MWMX toolchain at compile time (see Deployment Flow above); no separate INT8 file will be shipped

Performance

Measured on Renesas R-Car X5H via the MWMX runtime (APM80 ship-performance CI pipeline).

ONNX Runtime – Renesas EP v2.1.0 (MWMX 2.2 ENG4)

Measured on R-Car X5H with ONNX Runtime + Renesas Execution Provider (INT8 auto-cast); nodes the NPU cannot run fall back to the CPU EP. Batch size 1, 1 NPU. Source: ORT Renesas EP test report, status 2026-09-30. This section supersedes earlier ORT figures in this card.

Component	AI Cores	Latency (ms)	Throughput (fps)	NPU Inference (ms)	NPU %	CPU + Overhead %	Portable pkg NPU-only (ms)
Full model	1	29.805	33.6	26.87	90.2 %	9.8 %	27.7632
Full model	12	9.624	103.9	8.624	89.6 %	10.4 %	7.56116

12-core latency is not always lower than 1-core: small models are dominated by CPU-side overhead.

Graph partitioning (NPU vs CPU nodes)

Component	Total Nodes	NPU Nodes	CPU Nodes (Q/DQ inserted)	NPU %	CPU %
Full model	325	310	15 (2)	95.4 %	4.6 %

Compile notes (from the test workbook)

Nodes dispatched to CPU for compilation/latency: 1
