The paper introduces a partition-aware scheduling framework for mobile inference on heterogeneous platforms that combines mobile GPUs and multiple CPU core clusters. It jointly optimizes operator partitioning, device assignment, and execution order for static DAGs of operators, such as those in CNNs or vision transformers. An online iterative search approach decomposes large DAGs into stages, targets critical operators, and uses latency predictors to avoid exhaustive profiling, achieving near‑optimal latency with minimal scheduling overhead.

HoliBench is a modular benchmarking and deployment toolkit that jointly measures accuracy, latency, and energy for foundation models across a wide range of devices, from single-board computers to GPU servers. It provides a platform abstraction layer that calibrates cross-device measurements and supports multiple model modalities, inference engines, and quantization levels. Using HoliBench, the authors evaluated 20 models on 7 device types, revealing tradeoffs such as limited latency gains from quantization on low‑precision hardware and diminishing accuracy returns relative to energy consumption, while also showing that single-model profiles can predict multi-model pipeline performance within a few percent.

Para-Pipe is a hierarchical mapping framework that integrates intra- and inter-stage operator parallelism within a pipelined architecture for machine‑learning computational graphs on heterogeneous System‑on‑Chip (SoC) platforms. By selectively fine‑tuning parallelism levels across pipeline stages, it navigates the trade‑off between throughput and latency, reducing inter‑processor communication overhead and improving energy efficiency. Evaluation on Amlogic and Black Sesame SoCs shows multiple Pareto‑optimal configurations, with throughput‑optimized setups achieving up to 11.0% better energy efficiency than purely pipelined strategies and 23.3% better than non‑pipelined parallel execution.
