The energy consumption of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) is a critical factor in deploying deep learning models on resource-limited equipment such as mobile devices and autonomous vehicles. We propose an approach involving Proportional Layer Skipping (PLS) and Frequency Scaling (FS). Layer skipping reduces computational complexity by selectively bypassing network layers, whereas frequency scaling adjusts the frequency of the processor to optimize energy use under latency constraints. Experiments of PLS and FS on ResNet-152 with the CIFAR-10 dataset demonstrated significant reductions in computational demands and energy consumption with minimal accuracy loss. This study offers practical solutions for improving real-time processing in resource-limited settings and provides insights into balancing computational efficiency and model performance.

摘要

The energy consumption of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) is a critical factor in deploying deep learning models on resource-limited equipment such as mobile devices and autonomous vehicles. We propose an approach involving Proportional Layer Skipping (PLS) and Frequency Scaling (FS). Layer skipping reduces computational complexity by selectively bypassing network layers, whereas frequency scaling adjusts the frequency of the processor to optimize energy use under latency constraints. Experiments of PLS and FS on ResNet-152 with the CIFAR-10 dataset demonstrated significant reductions in computational demands and energy consumption with minimal accuracy loss. This study offers practical solutions for improving real-time processing in resource-limited settings and provides insights into balancing computational efficiency and model performance.
