Datasheet#

This chapter describes the performance measurements of the Edge AI Inference demos.

Performance data of the demos can be auto generated by running following command on target:

debian@beaglebone:/opt/edge_ai_apps/tests# ./gen_data_sheet.sh

The performance measurements includes the following

  1. FPS : Effective framerate at which the application runs

  2. Total time : Average time taken to process each frame, which includes pre-processing, inference and post-processing time

  3. Inference time : Average time taken to infer each frame

  4. CPU loading : Loading on different CPU cores present

  5. DDR BW : DDR read and write BW used

  6. HWA Loading : Loading on different Hardware accelerators present

Following are the latest performance numbers of the C++ demos:
