MLPerf, an emerging machine learning benchmark suite strives to cover a broad range of applications of machine learning. We present a study on its characteristics and how the MLPerf benchmarks differ from some of the previous deep learning benchmarks like DAWNBench and DeepBench. We find that application benchmarks suc…

Machine learning (ML) needs industry-standard performance benchmarks to support design and competitive evaluation of the many emerging software and hardware solutions for ML. But ML training presents three unique benchmarking challenges absent from other domains: optimizations that improve training throughput can incre…
The paper aims to define a benchmark for deep learning recommendation models.
problem Insufficient benchmarking for deep learning recommendation models.
method Synthesizes modeling strategies, defines desirable characteristics, and summarizes advice from the MLPerf Recommendation Advisory Board.
result Defines an industry-relevant benchmark for deep learning recommendation models.
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 consump…
Improved CNN training speed with K-FAC on large datasets.
problem Challenges in training large-scale neural networks with distributed processors.
method Scalable K-FAC design, layer-wise distribution, inverse-free second-order gradient evaluation, dynamic K-FAC update decoupling.
result Distributed K-FAC implementation converges to 75.9% MLPerf baseline in 18-25% less time than SGD.
We present CodeReef - an open platform to share all the components necessary to enable cross-platform MLOps (MLSysOps), i.e. automating the deployment of ML models across diverse systems in the most efficient way. We also introduce the CodeReef solution - a way to package and share models as non-virtualized, portable, …
This paper optimizes deep learning training by efficiently sharding weight updates across replicas.
problem Redundant weight update computation on all replicas in data-parallel training.
method Automatic sharding of weight updates using static analysis and transformations on the training graph.
result Substantial speedups achieved on large-scale models using Cloud TPUs.
Researchers have proposed hardware, software, and algorithmic optimizations to improve the computational performance of deep learning. While some of these optimizations perform the same operations faster (e.g., increasing GPU clock speed), many others modify the semantics of the training procedure (e.g., reduced precis…
