New framework predicts CNN inference costs with high accuracy

Researchers have developed CARB, a framework designed to accurately predict the inference cost of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) before deployment. Through extensive characterization of CNN configurations on different GPUs, they found that energy, latency, and memory usage scale differently. CARB utilizes these findings to jointly predict these metrics with high accuracy and a workflow that rapidly screens potential CNN candidates, reducing large design spaces to a manageable shortlist. AI

IMPACT Enables more efficient deployment of CNNs on resource-constrained hardware by accurately predicting energy, latency, and memory usage.
