Titel:
Achieving Extreme Throughput for DNN-Based In-Network Processing
Abstract:
Neural Networks are playing a key role in an increasing amount of application scenarios. However, their computational complexity and memory demands are challenging which limits their deployment in particular within high throughput domains such as communications.
During this talk, we will discuss an example from the space of Deep Network Intrusion Detection which leverages DNNs to identify malicious traffic for increased accuracy. We show, how through extreme specialization of compute architectures, we can effectively scale DNN inference to 100s of millions of requests/second. This is sufficient to classify traffic at up to 400Gbps wire speed, even for compute-intensive applications such as DNN inference.
