MixVarGENet
MixVarGENet builds a lightweight backbone with mixed-variant blocks (mixvarge); the first two stages use f2/f4 base blocks, the last two stages use f2_gb16 blocks with groups, downsampling stage by stage to stride 32.

Data tested with
march = March.NASH_M(J6M); this task has no QAT stage (—in the qat column).HEAL versions: heal 0.0.2 / hbdk4-compiler 4.11.11 / horizon_plugin_pytorch 3.3.10.
Performance Metrics
Performance test methodology: FPS is measured with 8 threads on a single core; Latency is measured with single core, single thread; Memory is peak DDR usage.
| March | latency (ms) | fps | Memory Usage |
|---|---|---|---|
| J6M | 0.36 | 5464.88 | 6.40 |
| J6P | 0.33 | 9374.11 | 6.40 |

J6B performance is not available for this model.
Model Overview
Core Design
MixVarGENet builds a lightweight backbone with mixed-variant blocks (mixvarge); the first two stages use f2/f4 base blocks, the last two stages use f2_gb16 blocks with groups, downsampling stage by stage to stride 32.
- Task type: Image Classification.
- backbone: MixVarGENet (
type=MixVarGENet, 5 stages: stride 2/4/8/16/32,num_classes=1000), builds a lightweight backbone with mixed-variant blocks (mixvarge), downsampling stage by stage to stride 32. - neck: 5 stages of mixvarge blocks:
mixvarge_f2,mixvarge_f4,mixvarge_f2_gb16(last two stages use group blocks, gb16), channels 32→32→64→96→160. - classification head: MixVarGENet built-in fully connected classification head, directly outputs 1000-class logits.
- Loss function:
CEWithLabelSmooth(cross-entropy with label smoothing). - Model input: single RGB image at resolution
224 × 224(1x3x224x224). - Model output: 1000-class prediction logits; argmax gives the predicted class.
