BENCHMARKS

State of the art performance with today’s large, complex models

Natural Language Processing - BERT

The IPU delivers over 25% faster time-to-train with the BERT language model, training BERT-base in 36.3 hours with seven C2 IPU-Processor PCIe cards, each with two IPUs, in an IPU Server system. For BERT inference, we see more than 2x higher throughput at the lowest latency resulting in unprecedented speedups.

Computer Vision - EfficientNet

The Graphcore C2 IPU-Processor PCIe card achieves 15x higher throughput and 14x lower latency compared to a leading alternative processor. High throughput at the lowest possible latency is key in many of the important use cases today such as visual search engines and medical imaging.
