How “green” is your Artificial Intelligence?
Artificial intelligence (AI) systems face a set of conflicting goals: being accurate (consuming large amounts of computational power and electrical power) and being accessible (being lower in cost, less computationally intensive, and less power-hungry). Unfortunately, many of today’s AI implementations are environmentally unsustainable. Improvements in AI energy efficiency will be driven by several factors, including […]
Benchmarking AI from the edge to the cloud
Artificial Intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and deep learning (DL) are fast-changing and complex fields. Until relatively recently, there were no performance benchmarks for AI, ML, or DL systems. That is changing. Today, several industry organizations have developed AI, and ML benchmarks, with more complex benchmarks for DL coming soon. Those efforts stretch from the […]
Software-based inference accelerator speeds AI deployment on edge devices
A software-based inference accelerator is said to drastically improve deep learning performance on any existing hardware. Today, deep learning deployments are very limited and are primarily optimized for the cloud; and, even in these cases, they incur extensive processing costs, significant memory requirements, and expensive power costs, due to intensive computing demands. These challenges also […]
