Real time CPU inference **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 27, 2021 **What do you like best about OpenVino?** The most important upside of OpenVino is ability to predict real time on CPU. It also has various accelerators like GPU, VPU, FPGA. OpenVino's documentation is very well maintained. Hence, its easy to use. We can also customize OpenCL. We can also prune and quantize deep learning models. It has its own benchmarking tool. It has many model conversion features. Like converting any model to its intermediate representation from onnx,pytorch,tensorflow, keras. It has many sample Deep learning/computer vision examples that are already well optimized. **What do you dislike about OpenVino?** It has many versions. So you need to stay updated in our to run various DL models efficiently. You might get version conflicts. Its feature of model optimization is a bit slow. It becomes difficult to convert latest state of the art models due to internal layer implementation. Training complex neural network can be a concern as model conversion can be quite typical. Also it does not have more references for beginners. These are the things I do not like about Openvino and needs improvements. **Recommendations to others considering OpenVino:** I would totally recommend OpenVino to all the users in the field of Computer Vision and Deep learning. From my personal experience, it is very simple to setup. Has great documentation and community support. You will be able to achieve higher FPS with great accuracy. And when thinking about scalability of a usecase on a CPU, OpenVino will be the best choice. Even for edge deployments, its has many accelerators. Hence anyone looking for wdge deployments as well. It is a great choice for smaller light weight models. **What problems is OpenVino solving and how is that benefiting you?** Well I have been using Openvino for various computer vision applications. All the LPU deployments that are CPU based and needs higher processing speed with accuracy are done using OpenVino. It has also been helpful in converting heavy complex model to light weight faster simpler model. Its serving architecture is a great feature for handling multiple streams all at once. Hence, openvino benifits us in terms of scalability, throughput and accuracy. ### 2.
