Hello,
There seems to be two different published benchmarks for ResNet50.
The first is in the Voyager SDK’s documentation : 1756 FPS (M.2) / 1946 FPS (PCIe) :
- https://github.com/axelera-ai-hub/voyager-sdk/blob/latest/docs/reference/model_zoo.md
The second is on the Metis Marketing page : Up to 3200 frames per second (ResNet-50)
- https://axelera.ai/ai-accelerators/aipu/metis
I was able to achieve 2050 FPS, which is higher than the modelzoo documentation, but MUCH lower than the marketing claim:

Where does the 3200 FPS benchmark claim come from ? How was this benchmark achieved on Metis ? Which hardware platform ?
Which brings me to the next marketing claim : Industry-Leading FPS / Watt ratios on ResNet50v1 (graph showing 614 FPS/W
- https://axelera.ai/ai-accelerators/aipu/metis
I was only able to achieve 270 FPS/W :

What does the 614 FPS/W benchmark come from ? Is it for ResNet50 ? How was it achieved ?
Thank you in advance for any feedback and/or clarifications.
Cheers !
Mario.
