AI Matrix - Synthetic Benchmarks for DNN

Understand

Deep neural network (DNN) architectures, such as convolutional neural networks (CNN), involve heavy computation and require hardware, such as CPU, GPU, and AI accelerators, to provide the massive computing power.

• With the many varieties of AI hardware prevailing on the market, it is often hard to decide which one is the best to use.
• Thus, benchmarking AI hardware effectively becomes important and is of great help to select and optimize AI hardware.
• Unfortunately, there are few AI benchmarks available in both academia and industry.
