abstract: 'Large number of weights in deep neural networks makes the models difficult to be deployed in low memory environments such as, mobile phones, IOT edge devices as well as “inferencing as a service" environments on cloud. Prior work has considered reduction in the size of the models, through compression techniques like pruning, quantization, Huffman encoding etc. However, efficient inferencing using the compressed models has received little attention, specially with the Huffman encoding in place. In this paper, we propose efficient parallel algorithms for inferencing of single image and batches, under various memory constraints. Our experimental results show that our approach of using variable batch size for inferencing achieves 15-25% performance improvement in the inference throughput for AlexNet, while maintaining memory and latency constraints.'
