• Abstract: The energy consumption of deep learning models is increasing at a breathtaking rate, which raises concerns due to potential negative effects on carbon neutrality in the context of global warming and climate change. With the progress of efficient deep learning techniques, e.g., model compression, researchers can obtain efficient models with fewer parameters and smaller latency. However, most of the existing efficient deep learning methods do not explicitly consider energy consumption as a key performance indicator. Furthermore, existing methods mostly focus on the inference costs of the resulting efficient models, but neglect the notable energy consumption throughout the entire life cycle of the algorithm. In this paper, we present the first large-scale energy consumption benchmark for efficient computer vision models, where a new metric is proposed to explicitly evaluate the full-cycle energy consumption under different model usage intensity. The benchmark can provide insights for low carbon emission when selecting efficient deep learning algorithms in different model usage scenarios.

  This study aims to (i) analyze image classification datasets and pre-trained models, (ii) improve inference efficiency by comparing optimized and non-optimized models, and (iii) assess the economic impact of the optimizations. We conduct a controlled experiment to evaluate the impact of various PyTorch optimization techniques (dynamic quantization, torch.compile, local pruning, and global pruning) to 42 Hugging Face models for image classification. Dynamic quantization demonstrates significant reductions in inference time and energy consumption, making it highly suitable for large-scale systems.
