With more nodes and more coordination comes more complexity, both in design and operation. So we need low latency, but we also need very high throughput: A recurring theme in IDS/IPS literature is the gap between the workloads they need to handle and the capabilities of existing hardware/software implementations. Back of the envelope.

At Intel we've been creating a new analyzer tool to help reduce AI costs called AI Flame Graphs : a visualization that shows an AI accelerator or GPU hardware profile along with the full software stack, based on my CPU flame graphs. It's designed to be easy and low-overhead , just like a CPU profiler. Why is AI profiling hard?

As we saw with the SOAP paper last time out, even with a fixed model variant and hardware there are a lot of different ways to map a training workload over the available hardware. Different hardware architectures (CPUs, GPUs, TPUs, FPGAs, ASICs, …) offer different performance and cost trade-offs.
