Abstract

Techniques to partition a neural network model for serial execution on multiple processing integrated circuit devices are described. An initial partitioning of the model into multiple partitions each corresponding to a processing integrated circuit device is performed. For each partition, an execution latency is calculated by aggregating compute clock cycles to perform computations in the partition, and weight loading clock cycles determined based on a number of weights used in the partition. The amount of data being outputted from the partition is also determined. The partitions can be adjusted by moving computations from a source partition to a target partition to change execution latencies of the partitions and the amount of data being transferred between partitions.
