System and Method for Partitioning a Neural Network Model for Offloading Computational Load

This patent introduces an innovative approach to addressing one of the key challenges in deploying large neural network models: managing computational resources efficiently across different computing environments.
The Challenge
Modern neural networks have grown increasingly complex and computationally intensive. While these models deliver impressive results, they often require substantial computing resources that may not be available on a single device or system. This is particularly problematic when deploying AI solutions in resource-constrained environments or when trying to balance load across distributed systems.
Our Solution
We developed a systematic method for intelligently partitioning neural network models into smaller, manageable components that can be distributed across different computing resources. The system analyzes the model’s architecture, computational requirements, and data flow patterns to determine optimal partition points.
Key Features
Intelligent Partitioning: Our method automatically identifies the most efficient ways to split a neural network while maintaining model integrity and minimizing communication overhead.
Adaptive Load Distribution: The system dynamically adjusts partitioning based on available computational resources and runtime conditions.
Optimized Communication: We’ve developed specialized protocols to ensure efficient data transfer between partitioned components, reducing latency and bandwidth requirements.
Benefits
- Resource Optimization: Better utilization of available computing resources across different devices or systems
- Improved Scalability: Easier deployment of large models across distributed computing environments
- Cost Efficiency: More effective use of computational resources leading to reduced operational costs
- Enhanced Flexibility: Ability to adapt to varying computational capabilities and requirements
This innovation enables organizations to deploy complex neural network models more efficiently, making advanced AI capabilities accessible even in scenarios with limited computational resources.
