Description
AWS Inferentia accelerators, engineered by AWS, aim to provide exceptional performance while minimizing costs for deep learning (DL) inference tasks. The initial generation of AWS Inferentia accelerators supports Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Inf1 instances, boasting up to 2.3 times greater throughput and a 70% reduction in cost per inference compared to similar GPU-based Amazon EC2 instances. Numerous companies, such as Airbnb, Snap, Sprinklr, Money Forward, and Amazon Alexa, have embraced Inf1 instances and experienced significant advantages in both performance and cost. Each first-generation Inferentia accelerator is equipped with 8 GB of DDR4 memory along with a substantial amount of on-chip memory. The subsequent Inferentia2 model enhances capabilities by providing 32 GB of HBM2e memory per accelerator, quadrupling the total memory and decoupling the memory bandwidth, which is ten times greater than its predecessor. This evolution in technology not only optimizes the processing power but also significantly improves the efficiency of deep learning applications across various sectors.
Description
GPUs excel at swiftly transferring data but suffer from limited locality of reference due to their relatively small caches, which makes them better suited for scenarios that involve heavy computation on small datasets rather than light computation on large ones. Consequently, the networks optimized for GPU architecture tend to run in layers sequentially to maximize the throughput of their computational pipelines (as illustrated in Figure 1 below). To accommodate larger models, given the GPUs' restricted memory capacity of only tens of gigabytes, multiple GPUs are often pooled together, leading to the distribution of models across these units and resulting in a convoluted software framework that must navigate the intricacies of communication and synchronization between different machines. In contrast, CPUs possess significantly larger and faster caches, along with access to extensive memory resources that can reach terabytes, allowing a typical CPU server to hold memory equivalent to that of dozens or even hundreds of GPUs. This makes CPUs particularly well-suited for a brain-like machine learning environment, where only specific portions of a vast network are activated as needed, offering a more flexible and efficient approach to processing. By leveraging the strengths of CPUs, machine learning systems can operate more smoothly, accommodating the demands of complex models while minimizing overhead.
