Abstract: Modem deep neural network (DNN) models have many layers with a single layer potentially involving large matrix multiplications. Such heavy calculation brings challenges to deploy such DNN models on a single edge device, which has relatively limited computation resources. Therefore, multiple and even heterogeneous edge devices may be required for applications with stringent latency requirements. Disclosed in the present patent documents are embodiments of a model scheduling framework that schedules multiple models on a heterogeneous platform. Two different approaches, model first scheduling (MFS) and hardware first scheduling (HFS), are presented to allocate a group of models for a service into corresponding heterogeneous edge devices, including CPU, VPU and GPU. Experimental results prove the effectiveness of the MFS and HFS methods for improving the inference speed of single and multiple AI-based services.

Abstract: A system determines a timing matrix corresponding to inference times taken for a number of machine learning (ML) models to be executed by a number of processing resources of a computing device. The processing resources includes at least a first and a second type of processing resources. The system applies a service-specific model-first scheduling scheme or a service-specific hardware-first scheduling scheme to obtain corresponding service-specific mappings. The system determines a best mapping from the corresponding service-specific mappings. The system schedules each of the ML models to a corresponding processing resource from the processing resources according to the best mapping. The system executes the ML models using corresponding mapped processing resources.
