MLPerf Inference Benchmark
Machine-learning (ML) hardware and software system demand is burgeoning.
Driven by ML applications, the number of different ML inference systems has
exploded. Over 100 organizations are building ML inference chips, and the
systems that incorporate existing models span at least three orders of
magnitude in power consumption and five orders of magnitude in performance;
they range from embedded devices to data-center solutions. Fueling the hardware
are a dozen or more software frameworks and libraries. The myriad combinations
of ML hardware and ML software make assessing ML-system performance in an
architecture-neutral, representative, and reproducible manner challenging.
There is a clear need for industry-wide standard ML benchmarking and evaluation
criteria. MLPerf Inference answers that call. In this paper, we present our
benchmarking method for evaluating ML inference systems. Driven by more than 30
organizations as well as more than 200 ML engineers and practitioners, MLPerf
prescribes a set of rules and best practices to ensure comparability across
systems with wildly differing architectures. The first call for submissions
garnered more than 600 reproducible inference-performance measurements from 14
organizations, representing over 30 systems that showcase a wide range of
capabilities. The submissions attest to the benchmark's flexibility and
adaptability.Comment: ISCA 202
An Efficient Classification of Hyperspectral Remotely Sensed Data Using Support Vector Machine
This work present an efficient hardware architecture of Support Vector Machine (SVM) for the classification of Hyperspectral remotely sensed data using High Level Synthesis (HLS) method. The high classification time and power consumption in traditional classification of remotely sensed data is the main motivation for this work. Therefore presented work helps to classify the remotely sensed data in real-time and to take immediate action during the natural disaster. An embedded based SVM is designed and implemented on Zynq SoC for classification of hyperspectral images. The data set of remotely sensed data are tested on different platforms and the performance is compared with existing works. Novelty in our proposed work is extend the HLS based FPGA implantation to the onboard classification system in remote sensing. The experimental results for selected data set from different class shows that our architecture on Zynq 7000 implementation generates a delay of 11.26 µs and power consumption of 1.7 Watts, which is extremely better as compared to other Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) implementation using Hardware description Language (HDL) and Central Processing Unit (CPU) implementation
