Bark

In this directory, you will find examples on how you could use IPEX-LLM optimize_model API to accelerate Bark models. For illustration purposes, we utilize the suno/bark-small as reference Bark models.

Requirements

To run these examples with IPEX-LLM, we have some recommended requirements for your machine, please refer to here for more information.

Example: Synthesize speech with the given input text

In the example synthesize_speech.py, we show a basic use case for Bark model to synthesize speech based on the given text, with IPEX-LLM INT4 optimizations.

1. Install

1.1 Installation on Linux

We suggest using conda to manage environment:

conda create -n llm python=3.11
conda activate llm
# below command will install intel_extension_for_pytorch==2.1.10+xpu as default
pip install --pre --upgrade ipex-llm[xpu] --extra-index-url https://pytorch-extension.intel.com/release-whl/stable/xpu/us/

pip install scipy

1.2 Installation on Windows

We suggest using conda to manage environment:

conda create -n llm python=3.11 libuv
conda activate llm

# below command will install intel_extension_for_pytorch==2.1.10+xpu as default
pip install --pre --upgrade ipex-llm[xpu] --extra-index-url https://pytorch-extension.intel.com/release-whl/stable/xpu/us/

pip install scipy

2. Configures OneAPI environment variables for Linux

Note

Skip this step if you are running on Windows.

This is a required step on Linux for APT or offline installed oneAPI. Skip this step for PIP-installed oneAPI.

source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh

3. Runtime Configurations

For optimal performance, it is recommended to set several environment variables. Please check out the suggestions based on your device.

3.1 Configurations for Linux

For Intel Arc™ A-Series Graphics and Intel Data Center GPU Flex Series

export USE_XETLA=OFF
export SYCL_PI_LEVEL_ZERO_USE_IMMEDIATE_COMMANDLISTS=1
export SYCL_CACHE_PERSISTENT=1

For Intel Data Center GPU Max Series

export LD_PRELOAD=${LD_PRELOAD}:${CONDA_PREFIX}/lib/libtcmalloc.so
export SYCL_PI_LEVEL_ZERO_USE_IMMEDIATE_COMMANDLISTS=1
export SYCL_CACHE_PERSISTENT=1
export ENABLE_SDP_FUSION=1

Note: Please note that libtcmalloc.so can be installed by conda install -c conda-forge -y gperftools=2.10.

For Intel iGPU

export SYCL_CACHE_PERSISTENT=1
export BIGDL_LLM_XMX_DISABLED=1

3.2 Configurations for Windows

For Intel iGPU

set SYCL_CACHE_PERSISTENT=1
set BIGDL_LLM_XMX_DISABLED=1

For Intel Arc™ A-Series Graphics

set SYCL_CACHE_PERSISTENT=1

Note

For the first time that each model runs on Intel iGPU/Intel Arc™ A300-Series or Pro A60, it may take several minutes to compile.

4. Running examples

python ./synthesize_speech.py --text 'IPEX-LLM is a library for running large language model on Intel XPU with very low latency.'

In the example, several arguments can be passed to satisfy your requirements:

• --repo-id-or-model-path REPO_ID_OR_MODEL_PATH: argument defining the huggingface repo id for the Bark model (e.g. suno/bark-small and suno/bark) to be downloaded, or the path to the huggingface checkpoint folder. It is default to be 'suno/bark-small'.
• --voice-preset: argument defining the voice preset of model. It is default to be 'v2/en_speaker_6'.
• --text TEXT: argument defining the text to synthesize speech. It is default to be "IPEX-LLM is a library for running large language model on Intel XPU with very low latency.".
