Description

Amazon Elastic Inference provides an affordable way to enhance Amazon EC2 and Sagemaker instances or Amazon ECS tasks with GPU-powered acceleration, potentially cutting deep learning inference costs by as much as 75%. It is compatible with models built on TensorFlow, Apache MXNet, PyTorch, and ONNX. The term "inference" refers to the act of generating predictions from a trained model. In the realm of deep learning, inference can represent up to 90% of the total operational expenses, primarily for two reasons. Firstly, GPU instances are generally optimized for model training rather than inference, as training tasks can handle numerous data samples simultaneously, while inference typically involves processing one input at a time in real-time, resulting in minimal GPU usage. Consequently, relying solely on GPU instances for inference can lead to higher costs. Conversely, CPU instances lack the necessary specialization for matrix computations, making them inefficient and often too sluggish for deep learning inference tasks. This necessitates a solution like Elastic Inference, which optimally balances cost and performance in inference scenarios.

Description

Exafunction enhances the efficiency of your deep learning inference tasks, achieving up to a tenfold increase in resource utilization and cost savings. This allows you to concentrate on developing your deep learning application rather than juggling cluster management and performance tuning. In many deep learning scenarios, limitations in CPU, I/O, and network capacities can hinder the optimal use of GPU resources. With Exafunction, GPU code is efficiently migrated to high-utilization remote resources, including cost-effective spot instances, while the core logic operates on a low-cost CPU instance. Proven in demanding applications such as large-scale autonomous vehicle simulations, Exafunction handles intricate custom models, guarantees numerical consistency, and effectively manages thousands of GPUs working simultaneously. It is compatible with leading deep learning frameworks and inference runtimes, ensuring that models and dependencies, including custom operators, are meticulously versioned, so you can trust that you're always obtaining accurate results. This comprehensive approach not only enhances performance but also simplifies the deployment process, allowing developers to focus on innovation instead of infrastructure.
