The Edge Chip Stopped Choosing Between a Pipeline and Parallel Work
Para-Pipe maps operator concurrency within and across stages, producing Pareto choices for latency, throughput and energy on heterogeneous SoCs.

Summary
Para-Pipe maps operator concurrency within and across stages, producing Pareto choices for latency, throughput and energy on heterogeneous SoCs.
The framework searches how a neural graph should share work across big and little CPU cores, a GPU, DSPs and a dedicated accelerator. On one Amlogic system, throughput-optimized configurations improved average energy efficiency by 11.0 percent over pure pipelining and 23.3 percent over non-pipelined parallel execution. A second automotive-class platform supplied another heterogeneous test. These are measurements on the authors' graphs and devices, not general efficiency guarantees for all edge workloads.
