Mission
Define, develop, and conduct the MLPerf™ Training benchmarks.
Purpose
Benchmarking the performance of training ML models on a wide variety of use cases, software, and hardware drives AI performance across the tech industry. This working group draws on expertise in AI and the technology that powers AI from across the industry to design and create industry-standard benchmarks. Together, we create the reference implementations, rules, policies and procedures to benchmark a wide variety of AI workloads.
The training working group strives for a critical balance of perspectives to ensure fairness and accuracy in the benchmarks. This balance comes from our member's diverse experience in many different AI hardware and software spaces. We are always looking for new members to help us create the benchmarks that best capture innovation in AI.
Deliverables
- Training benchmark roadmap
- Training benchmark rules
- Training benchmark reference implementations
- Training benchmark results every ~6 months
Meeting Schedule
Weekly on Thursday from 8:30-10:00AM Pacific.
