Song\ Intelligent Computing Systems Lab, Yonsei University\ -Current release: v1.4 (Oct., 2020) +Current release: v1.4.1 (Nov., 2020) ## Introduction The evolution of computing systems and explosive data production propel the advance of machine learning. As neural networks become increasingly important applications, developing neural network benchmarks has emerged as an imminent engineering challenge to tackle. Recent neural networks tend to form deeper networks to enhance accuracy and applicability, but such approaches impose great challenges on the modeling, simulation, and analysis of computing systems since they require unbearably long execution time to process a large amount of operations and sizable data. Neural networks are mostly comprised of matrix and vector calculations that repeat numerous times on multi-dimensional data across channels, layers, batches, etc. This observation becomes a motive to develop a lightweight neural network benchmark suite named Nebula. @@ -37,9 +37,9 @@ https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/cudnn/install-guide/index.html.

The large benchmark of a given network type represents the full-fledged neural network, and the medium and small benchmarks are down-sized representations. Small benchmarks on average about 10-15x faster to run than full-fldged counterparts, while exhibiting similar hardware performance and characteristics. Medium benchmarks in general reduce the runtime by 3-5x with more similar emulation of full-fledged networks. The benchmarks have been rigorously validated across a variety of platforms including CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and NPUs.
