The ability to accurately predict deep neural network (DNN) inference performance metrics, such as latency, power, and memory footprint, for an arbitrary DNN on a target hardware platform is essential to the design of DNN based models. This ability is critical for the (manual or automatic) design, optimization, and deployment of practical DNNs for a specific hardware deployment platform. Unfortunately, these metrics are slow to evaluate using simulators (where available) and typically require measurement on the target hardware. This work describes PerfSAGE, a novel graph neural network (GNN) that predicts inference latency, energy, and memory footprint on an arbitrary DNN TFlite graph (TFL, 2017). In contrast, previously published performance predictors can only predict latency and are restricted to pre-defined construction rules or search spaces. This paper also describes the EdgeDLPerf dataset of 134,912 DNNs randomly sampled from four task search spaces and annotated with inference performance metrics from three edge hardware platforms. Using this dataset, we train PerfSAGE and provide experimental results that demonstrate state-of-the-art prediction accuracy with a Mean Absolute Percentage Error of <5 These results: (1) Outperform previous state-of-art GNN-based predictors (Dudziak et al., 2020), (2) Accurately predict performance on accelerators (a shortfall of non-GNN-based predictors (Zhang et al., 2021)), and (3) Demonstrate predictions on arbitrary input graphs without modifications to the feature extractor.
