Description
AWS Inferentia accelerators, engineered by AWS, aim to provide exceptional performance while minimizing costs for deep learning (DL) inference tasks. The initial generation of AWS Inferentia accelerators supports Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Inf1 instances, boasting up to 2.3 times greater throughput and a 70% reduction in cost per inference compared to similar GPU-based Amazon EC2 instances. Numerous companies, such as Airbnb, Snap, Sprinklr, Money Forward, and Amazon Alexa, have embraced Inf1 instances and experienced significant advantages in both performance and cost. Each first-generation Inferentia accelerator is equipped with 8 GB of DDR4 memory along with a substantial amount of on-chip memory. The subsequent Inferentia2 model enhances capabilities by providing 32 GB of HBM2e memory per accelerator, quadrupling the total memory and decoupling the memory bandwidth, which is ten times greater than its predecessor. This evolution in technology not only optimizes the processing power but also significantly improves the efficiency of deep learning applications across various sectors.
Description
Amazon Elastic Inference provides an affordable way to enhance Amazon EC2 and Sagemaker instances or Amazon ECS tasks with GPU-powered acceleration, potentially cutting deep learning inference costs by as much as 75%. It is compatible with models built on TensorFlow, Apache MXNet, PyTorch, and ONNX. The term "inference" refers to the act of generating predictions from a trained model. In the realm of deep learning, inference can represent up to 90% of the total operational expenses, primarily for two reasons. Firstly, GPU instances are generally optimized for model training rather than inference, as training tasks can handle numerous data samples simultaneously, while inference typically involves processing one input at a time in real-time, resulting in minimal GPU usage. Consequently, relying solely on GPU instances for inference can lead to higher costs. Conversely, CPU instances lack the necessary specialization for matrix computations, making them inefficient and often too sluggish for deep learning inference tasks. This necessitates a solution like Elastic Inference, which optimally balances cost and performance in inference scenarios.
