 ## TL;DR
 
 This repo contains code for python backend CTranslate2 based triton models for the SSMT project.
-Prerequisites: `python3.xx-venv`, `nvidia-docker`
+Prerequisites: `python3.xx-venv`, `nvidia-docker`, `bash`

+Quantization disabled until qualitative testing is performed. For now, the argument `int8` does nothing.

-* Given a URL and quantization method (those supported by CTranslate2 i.e. `int8`, `int8_float16`, `int8_bfloat16`, `int16`, `float16` and `bfloat16`) it will download, quantize and construct the SSMT Triton Repository in `./ssmt_triton_repo` (disabled, will be enabled once testing is performed on representative hardware).

 * Dynamic batching and caching is supported and enabled by default.
 * The repository folder can me mounted to the dhruva ssmt triton server on `/models` and can be queried via a client.
 * Sample client code is also given as an ipython notebook.
