ADAPTIVE DISPATCH FOR ACCELERATION OF DEEP NEURAL NETWORKS ON GRAPHIC PROCESSING UNITS

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for processing are described. A device may parse a set of layers of a deep neural network. The set of layers may be associated with a set of machine learning operations of the deep neural network. The device may determine one or more layer parameters based on the determined set of layers. In some aspects, the device may determine an execution time associated with executing a shader dispatch based on the one or more layer parameters. The device may batch the shader dispatch to a command buffer based on the execution time and process the command buffer based on the batching. The device may determine a target execution time based on an assembly time associated with the command buffer, a processing time associated with the command buffer, a frequency level associated with processing the command buffer, the one or more layer parameters, or some combination thereof.
