Comparing Computing Platforms for Deep Learning on a Humanoid Robot
The goal of this study is to test two different computing platforms with
respect to their suitability for running deep networks as part of a humanoid
robot software system. One of the platforms is the CPU-centered Intel NUC7i7BNH
and the other is a NVIDIA Jetson TX2 system that puts more emphasis on GPU
processing. The experiments addressed a number of benchmarking tasks including
pedestrian detection using deep neural networks. Some of the results were
unexpected but demonstrate that platforms exhibit both advantages and
disadvantages when taking computational performance and electrical power
requirements of such a system into account.Comment: 12 pages, 5 figure
