Deep Learning on GPUs P2 GPU instances for high performance DL training and inference MXNet training on EC2 P2 instances: We trained a popular image analysis algorithm, Inception v3, using MXNet and running on P2 instances MXNet had the fastest throughput of any library we evaluated (as measured by the number of images trained per second), and the throughput rose by almost the same rate as the number of GPUs used for training, with a scaling efficiency of 85%.

FPGA Acceleration with F1 Instances

GPU and FPGA for Accelerated Computing NVIDIA Tesla GPU Card P2: GPU-accelerated computing § Enabling a high degree of parallelism – each GPU has thousands of cores § Consistent, well documented set of APIs (CUDA, OpenACC, OpenCL) § Supported by a wide variety of ISVs and open source frameworks Xilinx UltraScale+ FPGA F1: FPGA-accelerated computing § Massively parallel – each FPGA includes millions of parallel system logic cells § Flexible – no fixed instruction set, can implement wide or narrow datapaths § Programmable using available, cloud-based FPGA development tools

Accelerated Computing Concepts Parallelism increases throughout… CPU: High speed, low efficiency GPU/FPGA: High throughput, high efficiency GPUs and FPGAs can provide massive parallelism and higher efficiency than CPUs for certain categories of applications

A GPU is effective at processing the same set of operations in parallel – single instruction, multiple data (SIMD). A GPU has a well-defined instruction-set, and fixed word sizes – for example single, double, or half-precision integer and floating point values. An FPGA is effective at processing the same or different operations in parallel – multiple instructions, multiple data (MIMD). An FPGA does not have a predefined instruction-set, or a fixed data width. Control ALU ALU Cache DRAM ALU ALU CPU (one core) FPGA DRAM DRAM GPU Each FPGA in F1 has more than 2M of these cells Each GPU in P2 has 2880 of these cores DRAM Parallel Processing in GPUs and FPGAs Block RAM Block RAM DRAM DRAM
