Power Consumption Variation over Activation Functions

12 Jun 2020  ·  Leon Derczynski ·

The power that machine learning models consume when making predictions can be affected by a model's architecture. This paper presents various estimates of power consumption for a range of different activation functions, a core factor in neural network model architecture design. Substantial differences in hardware performance exist between activation functions. This difference informs how power consumption in machine learning models can be reduced.
