MARS: Exploiting Multi-Level Parallelism for DNN Workloads on Adaptive Multi-Accelerator Systems
share
Along with the fast evolution of deep neural networks, the hardware system is also developing rapidly. As a promising solution achieving high scalability and low manufacturing cost, multi-accelerator systems widely exist in data centers, cloud platforms, and SoCs. Thus, a challenging problem arises in multi-accelerator systems: selecting a proper combination of accelerators from available designs and searching for efficient DNN mapping strategies. To this end, we propose MARS, a novel mapping framework that can perform computation-aware accelerator selection, and apply communication-aware sharding strategies to maximize parallelism. Experimental results show that MARS can achieve 32.2 to the baseline, and 59.4 to the corresponding state-of-the-art method.
