Latency Tuner for AI Inference

This tool allows AI developers to optimize and tune their inference pipelines for lower latency. It benchmarks the key stages of an inference pipeline (e.g., pre-processing, model execution, post-processing) and identifies bottlenecks. It can also suggest tweaks to improve throughput and latency for real-time applications.

What It Does

  • Benchmark specific stages of an inference pipeline.
  • Identify bottlenecks in the pipeline.
  • Provide optimization suggestions for stages with high latency.

Installation

This tool requires Python 3.7 or higher and the following Python package:

  • numpy

You can install the required package using pip:

pip install numpy

Usage

Run the tool from the command line:

python latency_tuner.py --script <path_to_inference_script> --stages <comma_separated_stage_names>

Arguments

  • --script: Path to the Python script containing the inference pipeline stages.
  • --stages: Comma-separated list of stage function names to benchmark.

Example

Suppose you have an inference script inference.py with the following content:

def preprocess():
    pass

def model_inference():
    pass

def postprocess():
    pass

You can benchmark the stages as follows:

python latency_tuner.py --script inference.py --stages preprocess,model_inference,postprocess
