Title

Energy Efficient Hardware

Description

As a practitioner, using hardware designed to closer align with your machine learning workload can reduce energy consumption and cost. Understanding which available hardware is best for your workload and which is more efficient that the other can help reduce energy use and cost. Apply this tactic by comparing available hardware on cloud platforms. As a cloud platform provider, investments in new efficient hardware can be made. Additionally, clear communication or detection for best hardware selection for users.

Context

Machine learning systems energy use. Green AI.

Software feature

Design and/or use energy efficient hardware.

Tactic intent

Increased Energy Efficiency.

Target quality attribute

Energy Efficiency.

Other related quality attributes

Cost Optimization.

Measured impact

Example of using Energy Efficient Hardware: Trainium is tailored for training deep learning models, while Inferentia is optimized for inference tasks. Both chips aim to deliver high performance per watt, contributing to energy-efficient AI workloads. Trn1 instances powered by Trainium are up to 25% more energy efficient for DL training than comparable accelerated computing EC2 instances, and Inf2 instances offer up to 50% better performance per watt over comparable Amazon EC2 instances because they and the underlying Inferentia2 accelerators are purpose-built to run deep learning models at scale
