Optimising ML Inference Scaling for Performance and Cost

Today's icebreaker:

One giant or many small?

If you had to serve one million predictions per second, would you rather use one super-powerful computer or many smaller computers?

Today's agenda:

Review:

Recap key concepts.

Practice:

Simulating inference scaling trade-offs.

Closing:

Key takeaways and next steps.

Today's learning objectives:

  • Understand the fundamental trade-offs between latency, throughput, and resource allocation for ML inference workloads.
  • Simulate the impact of different scaling strategies (vertical vs. horizontal) on the performance and theoretical cost of an ML inference service.
  • Critically assess how various computational resources relate to operational requirements in ML/AI systems.
  • Reinforce concepts of performance optimisation and cost-efficiency in designing scalable ML platform architectures.
