 ## ONNX Runtime with CUDA Execution Provider optimization
-When GPU is enabled for ORT, CUDA execution provider is enabled. If TensorRT is also enabled then CUDA EP is treated as a fallback option (only comes into picture for nodes which TensorRT cannot execute). If TensorRT is not enabled then CUDA EP is the primary EP which executes the models. ORT enabled configuring options for CUDA EP to further optimize based on the specific model and user scenarios. To enable CUDA EP optimization you must set the model configuration appropriately. There are several optimizations available, like selection of max mem, cudnn conv algorithm etc... The optimization parameters and their description are as follows.

+for more details. To enable CUDA EP optimization you must set the model
+configuration appropriately:
 
-* `cudnn_conv_algo_search`: CUDA Convolution algorithm search configuration. Available options are 0 - EXHAUSTIVE (expensive exhaustive benchmarking using cudnnFindConvolutionForwardAlgorithmEx). This is also the default option, 1 - HEURISTIC (lightweight heuristic based search using cudnnGetConvolutionForwardAlgorithm_v7), 2 - DEFAULT (default algorithm using CUDNN_CONVOLUTION_FWD_ALGO_IMPLICIT_PRECOMP_GEMM)

+  ]
+}}
+```
 
-* `gpu_mem_limit`: CUDA memory limit. To use all possible memory pass in maximum size_t. Defaults to SIZE_MAX.
+### Deprecated Parameters
+The way to specify these specific parameters as shown below is deprecated. For
+backward compatibility, these parameters are still supported. Please use the
+above method to specify the parameters.
 
-* `arena_extend_strategy`: Strategy used to grow the memory arena. Available options are: 0 = kNextPowerOfTwo, 1 = kSameAsRequested. Defaults to 0.

+1 - HEURISTIC (lightweight heuristic based search using
+cudnnGetConvolutionForwardAlgorithm_v7), 2 - DEFAULT (default algorithm using
+CUDNN_CONVOLUTION_FWD_ALGO_IMPLICIT_PRECOMP_GEMM)
 
-* `do_copy_in_default_stream`: Flag indicating if copying needs to take place on the same stream as the compute stream in the CUDA EP. Available options are: 0 = Use separate streams for copying and compute, 1 = Use the same stream for copying and compute. Defaults to 1.
+* `gpu_mem_limit`: CUDA memory limit. To use all possible memory pass in maximum
+size_t. Defaults to SIZE_MAX.

 ### Model Config Options
-* `intra_op_thread_count`: Sets the number of threads used to parallelize the execution within nodes. A value of 0 means ORT will pick a default which is number of cores.
-* `inter_op_thread_count`: Sets the number of threads used to parallelize the execution of the graph (across nodes). If sequential execution is enabled this value is ignored.

 A value of 0 means ORT will pick a default which is number of cores.
-* `execution_mode`: Controls whether operators in the graph are executed sequentially or in parallel. Usually when the model has many branches, setting this option to 1 .i.e. "parallel" will give you better performance. Default is 0 which is "sequential execution."
-* `level`: Refers to the graph optimization level. By default all optimizations are enabled. Allowed values are -1, 1 and 2. -1 refers to BASIC optimizations, 1 refers to basic plus extended optimizations like fusions and 2 refers to all optimizations being disabled. Please find the details [here](https://onnxruntime.ai/docs/performance/graph-optimizations.html).

 ### Command line options
 
 #### Thread Pools
 
-When intra and inter op threads is set to 0 or a value higher than 1, by default ORT creates threadpool per session. This may not be ideal in every scenario, therefore ORT also supports global threadpools. When global threadpools are enabled ORT creates 1 global threadpool which is shared by every session. Use the backend config to enable global threadpool. When global threadpool is enabled, intra and inter op num threads config should also be provided via backend config. Config values provided in model config will be ignored.
