Systems and methods for optimizing power usage for systems within quality-of-service constraints

Abstract:

The disclosed computer-implemented method may include (i) identifying an artificial neural network that processes each input to the artificial neural network in a fixed number of operations, (ii) performing an analysis on the artificial neural network to determine an execution metric that represents the fixed number of operations performed by the artificial neural network to process each input, (iii) determining a quality-of-service metric for an executing system that executes the artificial neural network, and (iv) optimizing power consumption of the executing system by configuring, based on the execution metric and the quality-of-service metric, a processing throughput of at least one physical processor of the executing system, thereby causing the executing system to execute the artificial neural network at a rate that satisfies the quality-of-service metric while limiting the power consumption of the executing system. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
