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 benchmarks flexibility and adaptability.

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 o ther domains: optimizations that improve training throughput can increase the time to solution, training is stochastic and time to solution exhibits high variance, and software and hardware systems are so diverse that fair benchmarking with the same binary, code, and even hyperparameters is difficult. We therefore present MLPerf, an ML benchmark that overcomes these challenges. Our analysis quantitatively evaluates MLPerfs efficacy at driving performance and scalability improvements across two rounds of results from multiple vendors.
MLPerf Mobile is the first industry-standard open-source mobile benchmark developed by industry members and academic researchers to allow performance/accuracy evaluation of mobile devices with different AI chips and software stacks. The benchmark dra ws from the expertise of leading mobile-SoC vendors, ML-framework providers, and model producers. In this paper, we motivate the drive to demystify mobile-AI performance and present MLPerf Mobiles design considerations, architecture, and implementation. The benchmark comprises a suite of models that operate under standard models, data sets, quality metrics, and run rules. For the first iteration, we developed an app to provide an out-of-the-box inference-performance benchmark for computer vision and natural-language processing on mobile devices. MLPerf Mobile can serve as a framework for integrating future models, for customizing quality-target thresholds to evaluate system performance, for comparing software frameworks, and for assessing heterogeneous-hardware capabilities for machine learning, all fairly and faithfully with fully reproducible results.
Advancements in ultra-low-power tiny machine learning (TinyML) systems promise to unlock an entirely new class of smart applications. However, continued progress is limited by the lack of a widely accepted and easily reproducible benchmark for these systems. To meet this need, we present MLPerf Tiny, the first industry-standard benchmark suite for ultra-low-power tiny machine learning systems. The benchmark suite is the collaborative effort of more than 50 organizations from industry and academia and reflects the needs of the community. MLPerf Tiny measures the accuracy, latency, and energy of machine learning inference to properly evaluate the tradeoffs between systems. Additionally, MLPerf Tiny implements a modular design that enables benchmark submitters to show the benefits of their product, regardless of where it falls on the ML deployment stack, in a fair and reproducible manner. The suite features four benchmarks: keyword spotting, visual wake words, image classification, and anomaly detection.
Deep learning models typically use single-precision (FP32) floating point data types for representing activations and weights, but a slew of recent research work has shown that computations with reduced-precision data types (FP16, 16-bit integers, 8- bit integers or even 4- or 2-bit integers) are enough to achieve same accuracy as FP32 and are much more efficient. Therefore, we designed fbgemm, a high-performance kernel library, from ground up to perform high-performance quantized inference on current generation CPUs. fbgemm achieves efficiency by fusing common quantization operations with a high-performance gemm implementation and by shape- and size-specific kernel code generation at runtime. The library has been deployed at Facebook, where it delivers greater than 2x performance gains with respect to our current production baseline.
Deep learning (DL) models have become core modules for many applications. However, deploying these models without careful performance benchmarking that considers both hardware and softwares impact often leads to poor service and costly operational ex penditure. To facilitate DL models deployment, we implement an automatic and comprehensive benchmark system for DL developers. To accomplish benchmark-related tasks, the developers only need to prepare a configuration file consisting of a few lines of code. Our system, deployed to a leader server in DL clusters, will dispatch users benchmark jobs to follower workers. Next, the corresponding requests, workload, and even models can be generated automatically by the system to conduct DL serving benchmarks. Finally, developers can leverage many analysis tools and models in our system to gain insights into the trade-offs of different system configurations. In addition, a two-tier scheduler is incorporated to avoid unnecessary interference and improve average job compilation time by up to 1.43x (equivalent of 30% reduction). Our system design follows the best practice in DL clusters operations to expedite day-to-day DL service evaluation efforts by the developers. We conduct many benchmark experiments to provide in-depth and comprehensive evaluations. We believe these results are of great values as guidelines for DL service configuration and resource allocation.
