Abstract
According to a computing method a compiler determines a recompute node included in a dataflow application and a checkpoint tensor produced by the recompute node. The compiler determines a recompute cost to recompute the checkpoint tensor, and a memory cost to checkpoint the checkpoint tensor in a memory. Based on the recompute cost and/or the memory cost, the compiler determines a solution cost and compares the solution cost to a solution threshold. Based on comparing the solution cost to the solution threshold, the compiler determines a checkpoint solution to execute the dataflow application. The checkpoint solution can comprise recomputing or checkpointing the checkpoint tensor. In some implementations, the compiler can determine a recompute ratio of the recompute cost to the memory cost and can compare the recompute ratio to the solution threshold. A computer program product and a computing system can implement aspects of the method.
