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. The towers are getting smaller as optimizations are added. This will become a daily tool for AI developers.
