Key takeaways:
- ONNXRuntime is the best inference package for Transformer networks;
- Nvidia Triton, together with ONNXRuntime is the best solution for GPU inference;
- Optimization matters. It’s quite easy to unlock a >10X performance gain in 2022.
About this session
Transformer networks have taken the NLP world by storm, powering everything from sentiment analysis to chatbots. However, the sheer size of these networks presents new challenges for deployment, such as how to provide acceptable latency and unit economics.
The de-identification tasks Private AI services rely heavily on Transformer networks and involve processing large amounts of data. In this talk, I will go over the challenges we faced and how we managed to improve the latency and throughput of our Transformer networks, allowing our system to process Terabytes of data easily and cost-effectively.
