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.

Edge servers are the middle ground – more compute power than a mobile device, but with latency of just a few ms. The current system assumes an application specific regression model is available on the servers which can predict processing time given the current parameters of the job (e.g. in the cloud).
