Today, I want to have a closer look at using the undervolting potential to improve the efficiency for Llama 2 generative AI workloads. For this purpose, I’ll rely on MLPerf Client – a relatively new benchmark I’ve been playing with.
In this video, I demonstrate that it’s possible to increase Llama 2 generative AI performance by almost 40% at nearly no efficiency cost by overclocking the graphics cores and memory subsystem. Similarly, you can improve power efficiency by about 4% by undervolting the graphics cores at default frequency.
