Abstract
The present invention discloses a graph partitioning system for running neural networks on resource constrained hardware systems. The graph partitioning system used for partitioning a neural network graph into a series of sub-graphs and further allow the multiple sub-graphs to be executed in available hardware subsystems. The system based on cost function as estimated computation time and memory bandwidth of partitioned sub-graphs. The graph partitioning system is a cycle estimation model of hardware that can run fast and parameterize memory latency. The graph partitioning system supports heterogeneous partition for different type accelerators such as CPU, GPU, ASIC. The present invention also discloses a method for partitioning neural network graph in to series of sub-graphs.
