5.4.2. Enhancing Throughput

Try these first

1. 1.

   Define throughput in your own words.

   Hint

   Think about how rush hours work in a traffic system.

2. 2.

   What does parallel processing mean?

   Hint

   Consider how a restaurant kitchen works when multiple chefs prepare meals.

3. 3.

   What technique is employed to process tasks simultaneously in an AI circuit?

   • Batch Processing
   • Sequential Processing
   • Parallel Processing

   Hint

   Think about how things can be done faster when they are done at once.

4. 4.

   True or False: Batch processing can help efficiently manage smaller datasets.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider where efficiency gains are most noticeable.

5. 5.

   Consider a scenario where an AI application has to process a million images for training. Discuss how you would optimize this process using both batch and pipeline parallelism.

   Hint

   Focus on the methods that would maximize concurrent processing.

6. 6.

   Predict how using a GPU for batch processing as opposed to a CPU would impact the efficiency of an AI model's training.

   Hint

   Consider how threading works in different hardware architectures.
