GPU Inference
GPU inference focuses on optimizing the execution of deep learning models, particularly large language models (LLMs) and convolutional neural networks (CNNs), on graphics processing units to achieve faster processing speeds and lower latency. Current research emphasizes techniques like model quantization (including novel dense-and-sparse methods), efficient memory management (e.g., leveraging CPU and NVMe memory alongside GPUs), and intelligent scheduling algorithms to maximize GPU utilization and minimize energy consumption across diverse hardware configurations. These advancements are crucial for deploying computationally intensive AI models in resource-constrained environments and for improving the scalability and cost-effectiveness of AI applications.
