Benchmarking Efficiency Hardware Training 
DZone
FEBRUARY 27, 2021
As a Software Engineer, the mind is trained to seek optimizations in every aspect of development and ooze out every bit of available CPU Resource to deliver a performing application. This begins not only in designing the algorithm or coming out with efficient and robust architecture but right onto the choice of programming language.

The goal here is to reduce the training times of DNNs by finding efficient parallel execution strategies, and even including its search time, FlexFlow is able to increase training throughput by up to 3.3x FlexFlow is also given a device topology graph describing all the available hardware devices and their interconnections.

Defining high availability In general terms, high availability refers to the continuous operation of a system with little to no interruption to end users in the event of hardware or software failures, power outages, or other disruptions. If a primary server fails, a backup server can take over and continue to serve requests.

Last time around we looked at the DeathStarBench suite of microservices-based benchmark applications and learned that microservices systems can be especially latency sensitive, and that hotspots can propagate through a microservices architecture in interesting ways. When available, it can use hardware level performance counters.

Systems researchers are doing an excellent job improving the performance of 5-year old benchmarks, but gradually making it harder to explore innovative machine learning research ideas. Convolutional Capsule primitives can be implemented reasonably efficiently on CPU but problems arise on accelerators (e.g. GPU and TPU).

As an engineer on a browser team, I'm privy to the blow-by-blow of various performance projects, benchmark fire drills, and the ways performance marketing (deeply) impacts engineering priorities. With each team, benchmarks lost are understood as bugs. All modern browsers are fast, Chromium and Safari/WebKit included. CSS Custom Paint.

HTML, CSS, images, and fonts can all be parsed and run at near wire speeds on low-end hardware, but JavaScript is at least three times more expensive, byte-for-byte. I fear we will not be so lucky; an entire generation has been trained to ignore reality, to prize tribalism rather than engineering rigor, and to devalue fundamentals.
