Mission
Create power measurement techniques for various MLPerf™ benchmarks that enable reporting and comparing energy consumption, performance and power of benchmarks run on the submission systems.
Purpose
Power consumption and energy efficiency are critical challenges for deploying and operating machine learning systems across the spectrum, from battery-powered smartphones to the world’s largest data centers. The MLPerf Power WG will create tools to measure power for machine learning systems to evaluate efficiency and guide system optimization and design trade-offs.
Deliverables
- Power measurement techniques built on industry-standard tools
- List of approved power analyzers
- Power result metrics and format
- Initial deliverable is integration with MLPerf Inference v1.0 for wall-powered systems
- Roadmap for battery-powered system and MLPerf Training
Meeting Schedule
Weekly on Tuesday from 3:00-4:00PM Pacific.
