Discussion
Preliminary CPU Results
The below comparison of the CPU results presents a few interesting points for discussion:
- The runtimes for both models display similar variance as a percentage of the total time across hardware capabilities (36% and 39% relative standard deviation for the 30m and 15m models respectively).
- The runtimes for both the 15m and 30m model show variance largely linked to CPU frequency but not totally. The results are dispersed, perhaps reflecting chip variability, chipset or other systems factors.
- The difference in runtime between the fastest and slowest hardware (~440-500%) is much less than the difference in average runtime for the 30m and 15m models (1,110%). Thus, nothing can improve your model runtime like efficient model design!
