Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for optimizing GPU memory allocation for high-performance applications such as deep learning (DL) computing. For example, a DL task is executed using GPU resources (GPU device and GPU memory) to process a DL model having functional layers that are processed in a predefined sequence. A current functional layer of the DL model is invoked and processed using the GPU device. In response to the invoking, a data compression operation is performed to compress data of a previous functional layer of the DL model, and store the compressed data in the GPU memory. Responsive to the invoking, compressed data of a next functional layer of the DL model is accessed from the GPU memory and a data decompression operation is performed to decompress the compressed data for subsequent processing of the next functional layer of the DL model by the GPU device.
