Partition-Aware Scheduling for Mobile Heterogeneous Inference Co-Execution

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: A Cross-Platform Benchmarking and Deployment Toolkit for Foundation Models in CPS-IoT Applications

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.

Visual Perception Engine: Fast and Flexible Multi-Head Inference for Robotic Vision Tasks

Visual Perception Engine (VPEngine) is a modular framework that enables efficient GPU usage for robotic vision tasks by sharing a foundation model backbone across multiple specialized task heads. It eliminates redundant feature extraction, supports dynamic task prioritization, and achieves up to 3× speedup over sequential execution. The open‑source Python implementation, with ROS2 C++ bindings, delivers real‑time performance (≥50 Hz) on NVIDIA Jetson Orin AGX using TensorRT‑optimized models.

MeanField Surrogate Modeling for Scalable Runtime Scheduling of Concurrent Heterogeneous AI Inference on Shared GPUs

The paper introduces a MeanField surrogate model for predicting performance of concurrent heterogeneous AI inference workloads on shared GPUs, reducing profiling complexity from combinatorial to linear in the number of models. Experiments with up to six models show high accuracy (R²≈0.96) and efficient integration into a genetic algorithm scheduler, achieving near-exhaustive search performance with minimal runtime overhead.
