In the ever-evolving landscape of AI and ML applications, the role of heterogeneous accelerators is paramount. AI/ML workloads can significantly benefit from heterogeneous accelerator environments, combining various hardware accelerators like CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs. Improved performance is a well-known benefit.

Here are the key advantages of harnessing such environments.

  • Energy Efficiency: Heterogeneous accelerators are designed to provide high computational throughput while minimizing power consumption. It not only reduces operational costs but also contributes to a more environmentally sustainable approach to AI.
  • Scalability: As machine learning workloads continue to scale up, heterogeneous accelerator environments offer the flexibility to adapt to growing computational demands. Scaling out by adding more accelerators can be done efficiently, allowing organizations to tackle larger datasets and more complex models.
  • Cost-Effective Solutions: Heterogeneous environments can offer cost-effective solutions by maximizing the utilization of existing hardware. Organizations can repurpose older CPUs or GPUs for machine learning tasks, reducing the need for expensive hardware upgrades.
  • Research and Innovation: Researchers and developers benefit from the flexibility of heterogeneous accelerators for experimentation. They can quickly prototype and test new machine learning algorithms and models on a variety of hardware configurations, fostering innovation and advancements in the field.

MyelinTek’s MLSteam MLOps platform supports heterogeneous accelerator environments. You can manage accelerator resources within one platform. Include all accelerator support by AMD ROCm, NVIDIA CUDA, and more. We plan to support more accelerator environments (e.g. FPGA, ASIC. ) in the near future.
