Efficient Deployment of Models at the Edge // MLOps Podcast #284 with Krishna Sridhar, Vice President of Qualcomm.
Big shout out to Qualcomm for sponsoring this episode!
// Abstract
Qualcomm® AI Hub helps to optimize, validate, and deploy machine learning models on-device for vision, audio, and speech use cases.
With Qualcomm® AI Hub, you can:
Convert trained models from frameworks like PyTorch and ONNX for optimized on-device performance on Qualcomm® devices.
Profile models on-device to obtain detailed metrics including runtime, load time, and compute unit utilization.
Verify numerical correctness by performing on-device inference.
Easily deploy models using Qualcomm® AI Engine Direct, TensorFlow Lite, or ONNX Runtime.
The Qualcomm® AI Hub Models repository contains a collection of example models that use Qualcomm® AI Hub to optimize, validate, and deploy models on Qualcomm® devices.
Qualcomm® AI Hub automatically handles model translation from source framework to device runtime, applying hardware-aware optimizations, and performs physical performance/numerical validation. The system automatically provisions devices in the cloud for on-device profiling and inference. The following image shows the steps taken to analyze a model using Qualcomm® AI Hub.
// Bio
Krishna Sridhar leads engineering for Qualcomm™ AI Hub, a system used by more than 10,000 AI developers spanning 1,000 companies to run more than 100,000 models on Qualcomm platforms.
Prior to joining Qualcomm, he was Co-founder and CEO of Tetra AI which made its easy to efficiently deploy ML models on mobile/edge hardware.
Prior to Tetra AI, Krishna helped design Apple's CoreML which was a software system mission critical to running several experiences at Apple including Camera, Photos, Siri, FaceTime, Watch, and many more across all major Apple device operating systems and all hardware and IP blocks.
He has a Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and a bachelor’s degree in computer science from Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani, India.
