@LZLwoaini to analyze the GPU data stream during inference and determine which operations are parallel or serial, you can use profiling tools like NVIDIA Nsight Systems or PyTorch's autograd profiler. These tools allow you to visualize GPU utilization and identify which parts of the process are GPU-accelerated. For YOLOv5 specifically, ensure you run inference with device='cuda' to leverage GPU acceleration. Let us know if you encounter any issues!

Excuse me, I have another question. When I went to print the weight file - "yolov5. pt", I could only see the model structure, and I couldn't see anything else such as the convolutional kernel weights. What should I do if I want to view detailed information. thank you!

[pderrenger]

To view detailed information like the convolutional kernel weights of the YOLOv5 model, you can directly load the PyTorch .pt weight file and inspect its parameters using torch as shown below:

import torch

# Load model weights
weights_path = "yolov5s.pt"  # replace with your weight file
model = torch.load(weights_path, map_location='cpu')  # load weights

# Access model state_dict
state_dict = model['model'].state_dict()  # `model['model']` contains the neural network

# Print convolutional layer weights
for name, param in state_dict.items():
    if 'conv' in name:  # filter for convolutional layers
        print(f"{name}: {param.shape}")
        print(param)  # prints the weights
        break  # remove this to print all layers

This will allow you to inspect the weights layer by layer. Let me know if you need further assistance!
