Cascade Lake

2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors, formerly Cascade Lake, with Intel® C620 Series Chipsets (Purley refresh), features built-in Intel® Deep Learning Boost (Intel® DL Boost) and delivers high-performance inference and vision for AI workloads. It consolidates diverse IoT workloads, handles massive datasets and enables near-real-time transactions. Now you can get even better built-in deep learning capabilities, speed deployment, and lower total cost of ownership (TCO) with CPU-optimized software toolkits and frameworks such as Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit.

1x inference throughput improvement on Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8180 processor (July 2017) baseline: Tested by Intel as of July 11th 2017: Platform: 2S Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8180 CPU @ 2.50GHz (28 cores), HT disabled, turbo disabled, scaling governor set to “performance” via intel_pstate driver, 384GB DDR4-2666 ECC RAM. CentOS Linux* release 7.3.1611 (Core), Linux kernel 3.10.0-514.10.2.el7.x86_64. SSD: Intel® SSD DC S3700 Series (800GB, 2.5in SATA 6Gb/s, 25nm, MLC). Performance measured with: Environment variables: KMP_ AFFINITY=’granularity=fine, compact‘, OMP_NUM_THREADS=56, CPU Freq set with cpupower frequency-set -d 2.5G -u 3.8G -g performance. Caffe: (http://github.com/intel/caffe/), revision f96b759f71b2281835f690af267158b82b150b5c. Inference measured with “caffe time --forward_only” command, training measured with “caffe time” command. For “ConvNet” topologies, synthetic dataset was used. For other topologies, data was stored on local storage and cached in memory before training. Topology specs from https://github.com/intel/caffe/tree/master/models/intel_optimized_models (ResNet-50), and https://github.com/soumith/convnet-benchmarks/tree/master/caffe/imagenet_winners (ConvNet benchmarks; files were updated to use newer Caffe prototxt format but are functionally equivalent). Intel® C++ Compiler ver. 17.0.2 20170213, Intel® Math Kernel Library (Intel® MKL) small libraries version 2018.0.20170425. Caffe run with “numactl -l“.
