SAM Service

SAM Service is a Python-based web service that utilizes FastAPI and Uvicorn to create a fast and efficient API for retrieving a Segment Anything model. It also uses Nginx as a reverse proxy for handling HTTPS and improving performance. SAM stands for "Segment Anything Model," and the service is designed to make it easy for developers to generate an embedded image model for use with an ONNX runtime.

This service supports canceling pending requests, so that the client (e.g. Paintera) can send speculative requests and then cancel them before they are processed on the GPU. This is implemented using a work queue and shared state among the worker threads, as illustrated below.

Getting Started

Follow the steps below to run the SAM Service. Please note that these steps were performed on Ubuntu linux. Your packages and package manager commands (e.g. apt) may vary.

  1. Make sure you have the cuda libraries installed.
sudo apt install nvidia-cuda-toolkit
  1. Clone the repository:
git clone [email protected]:JaneliaSciComp/SAM_service.git
  1. Copy the model checkpoint file to the sam_service directory
cp sam_vit_h_4b8939.pth SAM_service/sam_service
  1. Install the necessary packages using conda:
conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate segment_anything
  1. Clone the paintera-sam repo alongside this one
cd ..
git clone [email protected]:cmhulbert/paintera-sam.git
cd paintera-sam
pip install --user -e .
  1. Start the API:
cd sam_service
uvicorn sam_queue:app --access-log --workers 1 --host 0.0.0.0

Note that using one worker is very important here. Using more than one worker will spin up additional processes and each one will try to use the configured GPUs. The FAST API layer is async and doesn't require more than one worker to handle many clients.

Deploying in Production

Bare Metal

You can also set up everything yourself on bare metal. In production we use Nginx as a reverse proxy to handle and terminate HTTPS traffic. In this mode, Uvicorn is configured to run on a socket for improved performance.

  1. Clone this repository into /opt/deploy/SAM_service

  2. Follow the other setps in "Getting Started" above

  3. Link the Systemd file and start the Uvicorn service:

sudo ln -s /opt/deploy/SAM_service/systemd/sam.service /etc/systemd/system/sam.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable sam.service
sudo systemctl start sam.service
  1. View the logs to make sure the service came up correctly:
sudo journalctl -fu sam.service
  1. Install and configure nginx with the file found in nginx.conf
sudo apt-get install nginx
sudo cp ./systemd/nginx.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/sam_service
sudo rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
sudo systemctl enable nginx
sudo systemctl start nginx
  1. Connect to the service in your browser at https://your-server-name

Docker Compose

Note: this has been prototyped but is not yet used in any deployment.

To run this service using Docker, you must first configure Docker to work with GPUs. Also, you must use a recent version of docker-compose which has GPU support. The 2.24.5 version is known to work. The following command can be used to test whether Docker is set up correctly:

docker run -it --rm --gpus all ubuntu nvidia-smi

The docker-compose.yml assumes that you put the TLS certificates in /opt/deploy/ssl. The certificate files should be named fullchain.pem and privkey.pem.

You should also edit nginx.conf to set the server_name to the domain name of your server.

Finally, to start the services run the following:

cd docker
docker-compose up

To rebuild and push the Docker container, execute the following commands where <version> is the version number you want to publish:

docker build . -t ghcr.io/janeliascicomp/sam_service:<version>
docker push ghcr.io/janeliascicomp/sam_service:<version>

Common Issues

Nginx can't connect to port 80

You may have another service (like Apache) already listening on that port. Shut down that service before starting up nginx, e.g. sudo systemctl stop apache2

Testing

There are scripts in the ./test directory which can be used to verify that the service is working as intended, and to run stress tests. Use the segment_anything conda environment created above.

The following command starts 3 worker processes and each one submits 10 requests to the service, one at a time:

python tests/test_load.py -u http://localhost:8080 -i tests/em1.png -w 3 -r 10

This command starts 10 worker processes and each one submits 2 requests in parallel using a thread pool:

python tests/test_cancel.py -u http://f15u30:8000 -i tests/em1.png -w 10 -r 2 --describe

Endpoint Documentation

Documentation for the endpoints is provided by the service and can be found at the /docs or /redoc URLs.

Configuration

SAM Service can be configured by modifying the config.json file. The following keys

  • LOG_LEVEL: maximum level of logging (TRACE, DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR)
  • MODEL_TYPE: Segment Anything model type
  • CHECKPOINT_FILE: filename of the Segment Anything model checkpoint file
  • GPUS: array of indicies of the GPUs to use, e.g. `[0,1,2,3]``

Contributing

If you would like to contribute to SAM Service, feel free to open a pull request. Before doing so, please ensure that your code adheres to the PEP 8 style guide and that all tests pass.
