Optimizing AI Inference Across the Deployment Stack

The paper argues that AI deployment performance depends on interactions among compression, compiler transformations, and serving policies rather than just model architecture. It introduces a three‑layer taxonomy—model‑level techniques, compiler transformations, and system policies—and frames deployment as a constrained multi‑objective optimization problem over accuracy, latency, throughput, memory footprint, and energy. The authors propose an evidence protocol for comparable benchmarking and synthesize data from edge and data‑center platforms to show that cross‑layer interactions drive deployment outcomes, concluding with a constraint‑aware selection procedure and open research problems.

Benchmarking Model Compression Techniques Across Heterogeneous Edge Platforms: A Predictive Maintenance Use Case for Rotating Machinery

The paper evaluates four advanced model compression methods on a high‑performance convolutional neural network for predictive maintenance of rotating machinery. Using a real‑world dataset, the authors benchmarked the compressed models on nine diverse edge devices, balancing classification accuracy, inference speed, and compression ratio. Knowledge distillation emerged as the most effective technique, delivering over 90% speedup, a 98.9% size reduction, and only a minor drop in balanced F‑score (91.22%) compared to the uncompressed model.

TrainBridge: Agentic NPU Training Optimization Guided by GPU Compilation Evidence

TrainBridge is an agentic approach that transfers optimization guidance from GPU training to Ascend NPU training. It extracts optimization intents from highly optimized GPU execution and uses them to rewrite NPU programs, then refines these rewrites through iterative profiling. Experiments show that TrainBridge yields an average 1.7× speedup across four workloads and nearly 2.0× speedup on 27 Modded‑NanoGPT speedrun records.
