Abstract
Methods and systems for opportunistic load balancing in deep neural networks (DNNs) using metadata. Representative computational costs are captured, obtained or determined for a given architectural, functional or computational aspect of a DNN system. The representative computational costs are implemented as metadata for the given architectural, functional or computational aspect of the DNN system. In an implementation, the computed computational cost is implemented as the metadata. A scheduler detects whether there are neurons in subsequent layers that are ready to execute. The scheduler uses the metadata and neuron availability to schedule and load balance across compute resources and available resources.
