Artificial Intelligence with 2nd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processor

The 2nd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor provides scalable performance for the widest variety of datacenter workloads – including deep learning. The new 2nd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor platform offers built-in Return on Investment (ROI), potent performance and production-ready support for AI deployments.

Data Center Performance Overview Artificial Intelligence Benchmarks Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors World Record Performance

In our smart and connected world, machines are increasingly learning to sense, reason, act, and adapt in the real world. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the next big wave of computing, and Intel uniquely has the experience to fuel the AI computing era. AI will let us accelerate solutions to large-scale problems that would otherwise take months, years, or decades to resolve.

AI will unleash new scientific discoveries, automate undesirable tasks and extend our human senses and capabilities. Today, machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) are two underlying approaches to AI, as are reasoning-based systems.

Deep learning is the most rapidly emerging branch of machine learning, in many cases supplanting classic ML, relying on massive labeled data sets to iteratively “train” many-layered neural networks inspired by the human brain. Trained neural networks are used to “infer” the meaning of new data, with increased speed and accuracy for processes like image search, speech recognition, natural language processing, and other complex tasks.

The 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors take AI performance to the next level with Intel® Deep Learning Boost (Intel® DL Boost), a new set of embedded processor technologies designed to accelerate AI deep learning use cases such as image recognition, object detection, speech recognition, language translation, and others. It extends Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions 512 (Intel® AVX-512) with a new Vector Neural Network Instruction (VNNI) that significantly increases deep learning inference performance over previous generations. With 2nd Gen Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8280 processors and Intel® Deep Learning Boost (Intel® DL Boost), we project that image recognition with Intel optimized Caffe ResNet-50 can perform up to 14x1 faster than on prior generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors (at launch, July 2017).

Here we present some AI workloads showing advanced inference performance with the 2nd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors family.

ResNet-50 performance with Intel® Optimization for Caffe*

Designed for high performance computing, advanced artificial intelligence and analytics, and high density infrastructures Intel® Xeon® Platinum 9200 processors deliver breakthrough levels of performance. Using Intel® Deep Learning Boost (Intel® DL Boost) combined with Intel optimized Caffe, new breakthrough levels of performance can be achieved. Here we show the throughput on an image classification topology – ResNet-50 on the 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon Scalable processor.

ResNet-50 Inference Throughput Performance

Inference () generally happens instantaneously at the edge or in the data center, such as when a new photo is uploaded for inspection. For inference throughput TCO is really critical. Inference output can be fed into a number of different usages including – a dashboard for visualization or a decision tree for automatic decision making. Here we show inference throughput on an image database using multiple popular deep learning frameworks such as Caffe, TensorFlow, Pytorch, and MxNet with the ResNet-50 topology.

Oprogramowanie i obciążenia wykorzystane w testach wydajności mogły zostać zoptymalizowane pod kątem wydajnego działania tylko na mikroprocesorach Intel®. Testy wydajności, takie jak SYSmark* i MobileMark*, mierzą wydajność określonych systemów komputerowych, komponentów, oprogramowania, operacji i funkcji. Jakakolwiek zmiana wyżej wymienionych czynników może spowodować uzyskanie innych wyników. Aby wszechstronnie ocenić planowany zakup, w tym wydajność danego produktu w porównaniu z konkurencyjnymi, należy zapoznać się z informacjami z innych źródeł oraz innymi testami wydajności. Więcej informacji można znaleźć na stronie www.intel.pl/benchmarks.

Informacja o optymalizacji: kompilatory firmy Intel nie zawsze optymalizują w tym samym stopniu procesory innych firm w przypadku tych optymalizacji, które nie są specyficzne dla procesorów Intel®. Optymalizacje te dotyczą między innymi zestawów instrukcji Intel® Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (Intel® SSE2), Intel® SSE3 oraz Supplemental Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSSE3). Firma Intel nie gwarantuje dostępności, funkcjonalności czy skuteczności każdej optymalizacji w przypadku procesorów wyprodukowanych przez inne firmy. Optymalizacje zależne od procesora dla tego produktu dotyczą wyłącznie procesorów firmy Intel. Niektóre optymalizacje niespecyficzne dla mikroarchitektury Intel® są zarezerwowane dla procesorów Intel. Więcej informacji dotyczących konkretnych zestawów instrukcji omawianych w niniejszym ogłoszeniu można znaleźć w materiałach informacyjnych i podręcznikach użytkownika właściwych dla produktu.
