PaddleOCR Tuning REST API

REST API service for PaddleOCR hyperparameter evaluation. Keeps the model loaded in memory for fast repeated evaluations during hyperparameter search.

Quick Start with Docker Compose

Docker Compose manages building and running containers. The docker-compose.yml defines two services:

  • ocr-cpu - CPU-only version (works everywhere)
  • ocr-gpu - GPU version (requires NVIDIA GPU + Container Toolkit)

Run CPU Version

cd src/paddle_ocr

# Build and start (first time takes ~2-3 min to build, ~30s to load model)
docker compose up ocr-cpu

# Or run in background (detached)
docker compose up -d ocr-cpu

# View logs
docker compose logs -f ocr-cpu

# Stop
docker compose down

Run GPU Version

# Requires: NVIDIA GPU + nvidia-container-toolkit installed
docker compose up ocr-gpu

Test the API

Once running, test with:

# Check health
curl http://localhost:8000/health

# Or use the test script
pip install requests
python test.py --url http://localhost:8000

What Docker Compose Does

docker compose up ocr-cpu
       │
       ├─► Builds image from Dockerfile.cpu (if not exists)
       ├─► Creates container "paddle-ocr-cpu"
       ├─► Mounts ../dataset → /app/dataset (your PDF images)
       ├─► Mounts paddlex-cache volume (persists downloaded models)
       ├─► Exposes port 8000
       └─► Runs: uvicorn paddle_ocr_tuning_rest:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

Building Images

CPU Image (Multi-Architecture)

# Local build (current architecture)
docker build -f Dockerfile.cpu -t paddle-ocr-api:cpu .

# Multi-arch build with buildx (amd64 + arm64)
docker buildx create --name multiarch --use
docker buildx build -f Dockerfile.cpu \
  --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 \
  -t paddle-ocr-api:cpu \
  --push .

GPU Image (x86_64 + ARM64 with local wheel)

docker build -f Dockerfile.gpu -t paddle-ocr-api:gpu .

Note: PaddlePaddle GPU 3.x packages are not on PyPI. The Dockerfile installs from PaddlePaddle's official CUDA index (paddlepaddle.org.cn/packages/stable/cu126/). This is handled automatically during build.

Running

CPU (Any machine)

docker run -d -p 8000:8000 \
  -v $(pwd)/../dataset:/app/dataset:ro \
  -v paddlex-cache:/root/.paddlex \
  paddle-ocr-api:cpu

GPU (NVIDIA)

docker run -d -p 8000:8000 --gpus all \
  -v $(pwd)/../dataset:/app/dataset:ro \

PaddlePaddle GPU Platform Support

Note: PaddlePaddle-GPU does NOT have prebuilt ARM64 wheels on PyPI, but ARM64 support is available via custom-built wheels.

Platform CPU GPU
Linux x86_64 CUDA 10.2/11.x/12.x
Windows x64 CUDA 10.2/11.x/12.x
macOS x64
macOS ARM64 (M1/M2)
Linux ARM64 (Jetson/DGX) ⚠️ Limited - see Blackwell note

Source: PaddlePaddle-GPU PyPI - only manylinux_x86_64 and win_amd64 wheels available on PyPI. ARM64 wheels must be built from source or downloaded from Gitea packages.

ARM64 GPU Support

ARM64 GPU support is available but requires custom-built wheels:

  1. No prebuilt PyPI wheels: pip install paddlepaddle-gpu fails on ARM64 - no compatible wheels exist on PyPI
  2. Custom wheels work: This project provides Dockerfiles to build ARM64 GPU wheels from source
  3. CI/CD builds ARM64 GPU images: Pre-built wheels are available from Gitea packages

To use GPU on ARM64:

  • Use the pre-built images from the container registry, or
  • Build the wheel locally using Dockerfile.build-paddle (see Option 2 below), or
  • Download the wheel from Gitea packages: wheels/paddlepaddle_gpu-3.0.0-cp311-cp311-linux_aarch64.whl

⚠️ Known Limitation: Blackwell GPU (sm_121 / GB10)

Status: GPU inference does NOT work on NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs (DGX Spark, GB200, etc.)

Symptoms

When running PaddleOCR on Blackwell GPUs:

  • CUDA loads successfully
  • Basic tensor operations work
  • Detection model outputs constant values
  • 0 text regions detected
  • CER/WER = 100% (nothing recognized)

Root Cause

Confirmed: PaddlePaddle's entire CUDA backend does NOT support Blackwell (sm_121). This is NOT just an inference model problem - even basic operations fail.

Test Results (January 2026):

  1. PTX JIT Test (CUDA_FORCE_PTX_JIT=1):

    OSError: CUDA error(209), no kernel image is available for execution on the device.
    [Hint: 'cudaErrorNoKernelImageForDevice']
    

    → Confirmed: No PTX code exists in PaddlePaddle binaries

  2. Dynamic Graph Mode Test (bypassing inference models):

    Conv2D + BatchNorm output:
      Output min: 0.0000
      Output max: 0.0000
      Output mean: 0.0000
    Dynamic graph mode: BROKEN (constant output)
    

    → Confirmed: Even simple nn.Conv2D produces zeros on Blackwell

Conclusion: The issue is PaddlePaddle's compiled CUDA kernels (cubins), not just the inference models. The entire framework was compiled without sm_121 support and without PTX for JIT compilation.

Why building PaddlePaddle from source doesn't fix it:

  1. ⚠️ Building with CUDA_ARCH=121 requires CUDA 13.0+ (PaddlePaddle only supports up to CUDA 12.6)
  2. Even if you could build it, PaddleOCR models contain pre-compiled CUDA ops
  3. These model files were exported/compiled targeting sm_80/sm_90 architectures
  4. The model kernels execute on GPU but produce garbage output on sm_121

To truly fix this, the PaddlePaddle team would need to:

  1. Add sm_121 to their model export pipeline
  2. Re-export all PaddleOCR models (PP-OCRv4, PP-OCRv5, etc.) with Blackwell support
  3. Release new model versions

This is tracked in GitHub Issue #17327.

Debug Script

Use the included debug script to verify this issue:

docker exec paddle-ocr-gpu python /app/scripts/debug_gpu_detection.py /app/dataset/0/img/page_0001.png

Expected output showing the problem:

OUTPUT ANALYSIS:
  Shape: (1, 1, 640, 640)
  Min: 0.000010
  Max: 0.000010   # <-- Same as min = constant output
  Mean: 0.000010

DIAGNOSIS:
  PROBLEM: Output is constant - model inference is broken!
  This typically indicates GPU compute capability mismatch.

Workarounds

  1. Use CPU mode (recommended):

    docker compose up ocr-cpu
    

    The ARM Grace CPU is fast (~2-5 sec/page). This is the reliable option.

  2. Use EasyOCR or DocTR with GPU: These use PyTorch which has official ARM64 CUDA wheels (cu128 index):

    # EasyOCR with GPU on DGX Spark
    docker build -f ../easyocr_service/Dockerfile.gpu -t easyocr-gpu ../easyocr_service
    docker run --gpus all -p 8002:8000 easyocr-gpu
    
  3. Wait for PaddlePaddle Blackwell support: Track GitHub Issue #17327 for updates.

GPU Support Matrix (Updated)

GPU Architecture Compute CPU GPU
Ampere (A100, A10) sm_80
Hopper (H100, H200) sm_90
Blackwell (GB10, GB200) sm_121 Not supported

FAQ: Why Doesn't CUDA Backward Compatibility Work?

Q: CUDA normally runs older kernels on newer GPUs. Why doesn't this work for Blackwell?

Per NVIDIA Blackwell Compatibility Guide:

CUDA can run older code on newer GPUs via PTX JIT compilation:

  1. PTX (Parallel Thread Execution) is NVIDIA's intermediate representation
  2. If an app includes PTX code, the driver JIT-compiles it for the target GPU
  3. This allows sm_80 code to run on sm_121

The problem: PaddleOCR inference models contain only pre-compiled cubins (SASS binary), not PTX. Without PTX, there's nothing to JIT-compile.

We tested PTX JIT (January 2026):

# Force PTX JIT compilation
docker run --gpus all -e CUDA_FORCE_PTX_JIT=1 paddle-ocr-gpu \
  python /app/scripts/debug_gpu_detection.py /app/dataset/0/img/page_0001.png

# Result:
# OSError: CUDA error(209), no kernel image is available for execution on the device.

Confirmed: No PTX exists in PaddlePaddle binaries. The CUDA kernels are cubins-only (SASS binary), compiled for sm_80/sm_90 without PTX fallback.

Note on sm_121: Per NVIDIA docs, "sm_121 is the same as sm_120 since the only difference is physically integrated CPU+GPU memory of Spark." The issue is general Blackwell (sm_12x) support, not Spark-specific.

FAQ: Does Dynamic Graph Mode Work on Blackwell?

Q: Can I bypass inference models and use PaddlePaddle's dynamic graph mode?

No. We tested dynamic graph mode (January 2026):

# Test script runs: paddle.nn.Conv2D + paddle.nn.BatchNorm2D
python /app/scripts/test_dynamic_mode.py

# Result:
# Input shape: [1, 3, 224, 224]
# Output shape: [1, 64, 112, 112]
# Output min: 0.0000
# Output max: 0.0000  # <-- All zeros!
# Output mean: 0.0000
# Dynamic graph mode: BROKEN (constant output)

Conclusion: The problem isn't limited to inference models. PaddlePaddle's core CUDA kernels (Conv2D, BatchNorm, etc.) produce garbage on sm_121. The entire framework lacks Blackwell support.

FAQ: Can I Run AMD64 Containers on ARM64 DGX Spark?

Q: Can I just run the working x86_64 GPU image via emulation?

Short answer: Yes for CPU, No for GPU.

You can run amd64 containers via QEMU emulation:

# Install QEMU
sudo apt-get install qemu binfmt-support qemu-user-static
docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static --reset -p yes

# Run amd64 container
docker run --platform linux/amd64 paddle-ocr-gpu:amd64 ...

But GPU doesn't work:

  • QEMU emulates CPU instructions (x86 → ARM)
  • QEMU user-mode does NOT support GPU passthrough
  • GPU calls from emulated x86 code cannot reach the ARM64 GPU

So even if the amd64 image works on x86_64:

  • No GPU access through QEMU
  • CPU emulation is 10-100x slower than native ARM64
  • Defeats the purpose entirely
Approach CPU GPU Speed
ARM64 native (CPU) N/A Fast (~2-5s/page)
ARM64 native (GPU) Blackwell issue -
AMD64 via QEMU ⚠️ Works No passthrough 10-100x slower

Options for ARM64 Systems

Use Dockerfile.cpu which works on ARM64:

# On DGX Spark
docker compose up ocr-cpu

# Or build directly
docker build -f Dockerfile.cpu -t paddle-ocr-api:cpu .

Performance: CPU inference on ARM64 Grace is surprisingly fast due to high core count. Expect ~2-5 seconds per page.

Option 2: Build PaddlePaddle from Source (Docker-based)

Use the included Docker builder to compile PaddlePaddle GPU for ARM64:

cd src/paddle_ocr

# Step 1: Build the PaddlePaddle GPU wheel (one-time, 2-4 hours)
docker compose --profile build run --rm build-paddle

# Verify wheel was created
ls -la wheels/paddlepaddle*.whl

# Step 2: Build the GPU image (uses local wheel)
docker compose build ocr-gpu

# Step 3: Run with GPU
docker compose up ocr-gpu

# Verify GPU is working
docker compose exec ocr-gpu python -c "import paddle; print(paddle.device.is_compiled_with_cuda())"

What this does:

  1. build-paddle compiles PaddlePaddle from source inside a CUDA container
  2. The wheel is saved to ./wheels/ directory
  3. Dockerfile.gpu detects the local wheel and uses it instead of PyPI

Caveats:

  • Build takes 2-4 hours on first run
  • Requires ~20GB disk space during build
  • Not officially supported by PaddlePaddle team
  • May need adjustments for future PaddlePaddle versions

See: GitHub Issue #17327

Option 3: Alternative OCR Engines

For ARM64 GPU acceleration, consider alternatives:

Engine ARM64 GPU Notes
Tesseract CPU-only Good fallback, widely available
EasyOCR ⚠️ Via PyTorch PyTorch has ARM64 GPU support
TrOCR ⚠️ Via Transformers Hugging Face Transformers + PyTorch
docTR ⚠️ Via TensorFlow/PyTorch Both backends have ARM64 support

EasyOCR with PyTorch is a viable alternative:

pip install torch torchvision --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121
pip install easyocr

x86_64 GPU Setup (Working)

For x86_64 systems with NVIDIA GPU, the GPU Docker works:

# Verify GPU is accessible
nvidia-smi

# Verify Docker GPU access
docker run --rm --gpus all nvidia/cuda:12.0-base nvidia-smi

# Build and run GPU version
docker compose up ocr-gpu

GPU Docker Compose Configuration

The docker-compose.yml configures GPU access via:

deploy:
  resources:
    reservations:
      devices:
        - driver: nvidia
          count: 1
          capabilities: [gpu]

This requires Docker Compose v2 and nvidia-container-toolkit.

DGX Spark / ARM64 Quick Start

For ARM64 systems (DGX Spark, Jetson, Graviton), use CPU-only:

cd src/paddle_ocr

# Build ARM64-native CPU image
docker build -f Dockerfile.cpu -t paddle-ocr-api:arm64 .

# Run
docker run -d -p 8000:8000 \
  -v $(pwd)/../dataset:/app/dataset:ro \
  paddle-ocr-api:arm64

# Test
curl http://localhost:8000/health

Cross-Compile from x86_64

Build ARM64 images from an x86_64 machine:

# Setup buildx for multi-arch
docker buildx create --name mybuilder --use

# Build ARM64 image from x86_64 machine
docker buildx build -f Dockerfile.cpu \
  --platform linux/arm64 \
  -t paddle-ocr-api:arm64 \
  --load .

# Save and transfer to DGX Spark
docker save paddle-ocr-api:arm64 | gzip > paddle-ocr-arm64.tar.gz
scp paddle-ocr-arm64.tar.gz dgx-spark:~/

# On DGX Spark:
docker load < paddle-ocr-arm64.tar.gz

Using with Ray Tune

Multi-Worker Setup for Parallel Trials

Run multiple workers for parallel hyperparameter tuning:

cd src/paddle_ocr

# Start 2 CPU workers (ports 8001-8002)
sudo docker compose -f docker-compose.workers.yml --profile cpu up -d

# Or for GPU workers (if supported)
sudo docker compose -f docker-compose.workers.yml --profile gpu up -d

# Check workers are healthy
curl http://localhost:8001/health
curl http://localhost:8002/health

Then run the notebook with max_concurrent_trials=2 to use both workers in parallel.

Single Worker Setup

Update your notebook's trainable_paddle_ocr function:

import requests

API_URL = "http://localhost:8000/evaluate"

def trainable_paddle_ocr(config):
    """Call OCR API instead of subprocess."""
    payload = {
        "pdf_folder": "/app/dataset",
        "use_doc_orientation_classify": config.get("use_doc_orientation_classify", False),
        "use_doc_unwarping": config.get("use_doc_unwarping", False),
        "textline_orientation": config.get("textline_orientation", True),
        "text_det_thresh": config.get("text_det_thresh", 0.0),
        "text_det_box_thresh": config.get("text_det_box_thresh", 0.0),
        "text_det_unclip_ratio": config.get("text_det_unclip_ratio", 1.5),
        "text_rec_score_thresh": config.get("text_rec_score_thresh", 0.0),
    }

    try:
        response = requests.post(API_URL, json=payload, timeout=600)
        response.raise_for_status()
        metrics = response.json()
        tune.report(metrics=metrics)
    except Exception as e:
        tune.report({"CER": 1.0, "WER": 1.0, "ERROR": str(e)[:500]})

Performance Comparison

Subprocess (original) Every trial (~10s) ~10s ~7 hours
Docker per trial Every trial (~10s) ~12-15s ~7.5 hours
REST API Once ~0.1s ~5.8 hours

The REST API saves ~1+ hour by loading the model only once.

Troubleshooting

Model download slow on first run

The first run downloads ~500MB of models. Use volume paddlex-cache to persist them.

Out of memory

Reduce max_concurrent_trials in Ray Tune, or increase container memory:

docker run --memory=8g ...

GPU not detected

Ensure NVIDIA Container Toolkit is installed:

nvidia-smi  # Should work
docker run --rm --gpus all nvidia/cuda:12.0-base nvidia-smi  # Should work

PaddlePaddle GPU installation fails

PaddlePaddle 3.x GPU packages are not available on PyPI. They must be installed from PaddlePaddle's official index:

# For CUDA 12.x
pip install paddlepaddle-gpu==3.2.0 -i https://www.paddlepaddle.org.cn/packages/stable/cu126/

# For CUDA 11.8
pip install paddlepaddle-gpu==3.2.0 -i https://www.paddlepaddle.org.cn/packages/stable/cu118/

The Dockerfile.gpu handles this automatically.

CI/CD Pipeline

The project includes a Gitea Actions workflow (.gitea/workflows/ci.yaml) for automated builds.

What CI Builds

Image Architecture Source
paddle-ocr-cpu:amd64 amd64 PyPI paddlepaddle
paddle-ocr-cpu:arm64 arm64 Pre-built wheel from Gitea packages
paddle-ocr-gpu:amd64 amd64 PyPI paddlepaddle-gpu
paddle-ocr-gpu:arm64 arm64 Pre-built wheel from Gitea packages

ARM64 Wheel Workflow

Since PyPI wheels don't work on ARM64 (x86 SSE instructions), wheels must be built from source using sse2neon:

  1. Built manually on an ARM64 machine (one-time)
  2. Uploaded to Gitea generic packages
  3. Downloaded by CI when building ARM64 images

Step 1: Build ARM64 Wheels (One-time, on ARM64 machine)

cd src/paddle_ocr

# Build GPU wheel (requires NVIDIA GPU, takes 1-2 hours)
sudo docker build -t paddle-builder:gpu-arm64 -f Dockerfile.build-paddle .
sudo docker run --rm -v ./wheels:/wheels paddle-builder:gpu-arm64

# Build CPU wheel (no GPU required, takes 1-2 hours)
sudo docker build -t paddle-builder:cpu-arm64 -f Dockerfile.build-paddle-cpu .
sudo docker run --rm -v ./wheels:/wheels paddle-builder:cpu-arm64

# Verify wheels were created
ls -la wheels/paddlepaddle*.whl
# paddlepaddle_gpu-3.0.0-cp311-cp311-linux_aarch64.whl (GPU)
# paddlepaddle-3.0.0-cp311-cp311-linux_aarch64.whl (CPU)

Step 2: Upload Wheels to Gitea Packages

export GITEA_TOKEN="your-token-here"

# Upload GPU wheel
curl -X PUT \
  -H "Authorization: token $GITEA_TOKEN" \
  --upload-file wheels/paddlepaddle_gpu-3.0.0-cp311-cp311-linux_aarch64.whl \
  "https://seryus.ddns.net/api/packages/unir/generic/paddlepaddle-gpu-arm64/3.0.0/paddlepaddle_gpu-3.0.0-cp311-cp311-linux_aarch64.whl"

# Upload CPU wheel
curl -X PUT \
  -H "Authorization: token $GITEA_TOKEN" \
  --upload-file wheels/paddlepaddle-3.0.0-cp311-cp311-linux_aarch64.whl \
  "https://seryus.ddns.net/api/packages/unir/generic/paddlepaddle-cpu-arm64/3.0.0/paddlepaddle-3.0.0-cp311-cp311-linux_aarch64.whl"

Wheels available at:

https://seryus.ddns.net/api/packages/unir/generic/paddlepaddle-gpu-arm64/3.0.0/paddlepaddle_gpu-3.0.0-cp311-cp311-linux_aarch64.whl
https://seryus.ddns.net/api/packages/unir/generic/paddlepaddle-cpu-arm64/3.0.0/paddlepaddle-3.0.0-cp311-cp311-linux_aarch64.whl

Step 3: CI Builds Images

CI automatically:

  1. Downloads ARM64 wheels from Gitea packages (for arm64 builds only)
  2. Builds both CPU and GPU images for amd64 and arm64
  3. Pushes to registry with arch-specific tags

Required CI Secrets

Configure these in Gitea repository settings:

Secret Description
CI_READWRITE Gitea token with registry read/write access

Manual Image Push

# Login to registry
docker login seryus.ddns.net

# Build and push CPU (multi-arch)
docker buildx build -f Dockerfile.cpu \
  --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 \
  -t seryus.ddns.net/unir/paddle-ocr-api:cpu \
  --push .

# Build and push GPU (x86_64)
docker build -f Dockerfile.gpu -t seryus.ddns.net/unir/paddle-ocr-api:gpu-amd64 .
docker push seryus.ddns.net/unir/paddle-ocr-api:gpu-amd64

# Build and push GPU (ARM64) - requires wheel in wheels/
docker buildx build -f Dockerfile.gpu \
  --platform linux/arm64 \
  -t seryus.ddns.net/unir/paddle-ocr-api:gpu-arm64 \
  --push .

Updating the ARM64 Wheels

When PaddlePaddle releases a new version:

  1. Update PADDLE_VERSION in Dockerfile.build-paddle and Dockerfile.build-paddle-cpu
  2. Rebuild both wheels on an ARM64 machine
  3. Upload to Gitea packages with new version
  4. Update PADDLE_VERSION in .gitea/workflows/ci.yaml
