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. The following figure highlights how just one of these variables, batch size, impacts throughput and latency on ResNet50.

The Xeon Phi x200 (Knights Landing) has a lot of modes of operation (selected at boot time), and the latency and bandwidth characteristics are slightly different for each mode. This reduces the number of “hops” required for request/response/coherence messages on the mesh, and should reduce both latency and contention.
