This paper presents AppealNet, a novel edge/cloud collaborative architecture that runs deep learning (DL) tasks more efficiently than state-of-the-art solutions. For a given input, AppealNet accurately predicts on-the-fly whether it can be successfully processed by the DL model deployed on the resource-constrained edge device, and if not, appeals to the more powerful DL model deployed at the cloud. This is achieved by employing a two-head neural network architecture that explicitly takes inference difficulty into consideration and optimizes the tradeoff between accuracy and computation/communication cost of the edge/cloud collaborative architecture. Experimental results on several image classification datasets show up to more than 40% energy savings compared to existing techniques without sacrificing accuracy.

Neural network (NN) models are increasingly used in scientific simulations, AI, and other high performance computing (HPC) fields to extract knowledge from datasets. Each dataset requires tailored NN model architecture, but designing structures by ha
nd is a time-consuming and error-prone process. Neural architecture search (NAS) automates the design of NN architectures. NAS attempts to find well-performing NN models for specialized datsets, where performance is measured by key metrics that capture the NN capabilities (e.g., accuracy of classification of samples in a dataset). Existing NAS methods are resource intensive, especially when searching for highly accurate models for larger and larger datasets. To address this problem, we propose a performance estimation strategy that reduces the resources for training NNs and increases NAS throughput without jeopardizing accuracy. We implement our strategy via an engine called PEng4NN that plugs into existing NAS methods; in doing so, PEng4NN predicts the final accuracy of NNs early in the training process, informs the NAS of NN performance, and thus enables the NAS to terminate training NNs early. We assess our engine on three diverse datasets (i.e., CIFAR-100, Fashion MNIST, and SVHN). By reducing the training epochs needed, our engine achieves substantial throughput gain; on average, our engine saves 61% to 82% of training epochs, increasing throughput by a factor of 2.5 to 5 compared to a state-of-the-art NAS method. We achieve this gain without compromising accuracy, as we demonstrate with two key outcomes. First, across all our tests, between 74% and 97% of the ground truth best models lie in our set of predicted best models. Second, the accuracy distributions of the ground truth best models and our predicted best models are comparable, with the mean accuracy values differing by at most .7 percentage points across all tests.
Todays intelligent applications can achieve high performance accuracy using machine learning (ML) techniques, such as deep neural networks (DNNs). Traditionally, in a remote DNN inference problem, an edge device transmits raw data to a remote node th
at performs the inference task. However, this may incur high transmission energy costs and puts data privacy at risk. In this paper, we propose a technique to reduce the total energy bill at the edge device by utilizing model compression and time-varying model split between the edge and remote nodes. The time-varying representation accounts for time-varying channels and can significantly reduce the total energy at the edge device while maintaining high accuracy (low loss). We implement our approach in an image classification task using the MNIST dataset, and the system environment is simulated as a trajectory navigation scenario to emulate different channel conditions. Numerical simulations show that our proposed solution results in minimal energy consumption and $CO_2$ emission compared to the considered baselines while exhibiting robust performance across different channel conditions and bandwidth regime choices.
Research has shown that deep neural networks contain significant redundancy, and thus that high classification accuracy can be achieved even when weights and activations are quantized down to binary values. Network binarization on FPGAs greatly incre
ases area efficiency by replacing resource-hungry multipliers with lightweight XNOR gates. However, an FPGAs fundamental building block, the K-LUT, is capable of implementing far more than an XNOR: it can perform any K-input Boolean operation. Inspired by this observation, we propose LUTNet, an end-to-end hardware-software framework for the construction of area-efficient FPGA-based neural network accelerators using the native LUTs as inference operators. We describe the realization of both unrolled and tiled LUTNet architectures, with the latter facilitating smaller, less power-hungry deployment over the former while sacrificing area and energy efficiency along with throughput. For both varieties, we demonstrate that the exploitation of LUT flexibility allows for far heavier pruning than possible in prior works, resulting in significant area savings while achieving comparable accuracy. Against the state-of-the-art binarized neural network implementation, we achieve up to twice the area efficiency for several standard network models when inferencing popular datasets. We also demonstrate that even greater energy efficiency improvements are obtainable.
In trained deep neural networks, unstructured pruning can reduce redundant weights to lower storage cost. However, it requires the customization of hardwares to speed up practical inference. Another trend accelerates sparse model inference on general
-purpose hardwares by adopting coarse-grained sparsity to prune or regularize consecutive weights for efficient computation. But this method often sacrifices model accuracy. In this paper, we propose a novel fine-grained sparsity approach, balanced sparsity, to achieve high model accuracy with commercial hardwares efficiently. Our approach adapts to high parallelism property of GPU, showing incredible potential for sparsity in the widely deployment of deep learning services. Experiment results show that balanced sparsity achieves up to 3.1x practical speedup for model inference on GPU, while retains the same high model accuracy as fine-grained sparsity.
In many industry scale applications, large and resource consuming machine learning models reside in powerful cloud servers. At the same time, large amounts of input data are collected at the edge of cloud. The inference results are also communicated
to users or passed to downstream tasks at the edge. The edge often consists of a large number of low-power devices. It is a big challenge to design industry products to support sophisticated deep model deployment and conduct model inference in an efficient manner so that the model accuracy remains high and the end-to-end latency is kept low. This paper describes the techniques and engineering practice behind Auto-Split, an edge-cloud collaborative prototype of Huawei Cloud. This patented technology is already validated on selected applications, is on its way for broader systematic edge-cloud application integration, and is being made available for public use as an automated pipeline service for end-to-end cloud-edge collaborative intelligence deployment. To the best of our knowledge, there is no existing industry product that provides the capability of Deep Neural Network (DNN) splitting.
