The new Procyon AI Inference Benchmark tool, developed by UL Solutions, is making waves in the technology industry with its ability to measure artificial intelligence computing performance on Mac machines equipped with Apple Silicon processors. This tool, which was previously only available for Windows operating systems, now also supports the macOS operating system.
By utilizing the Core ML AI inference engine, Procyon AI Inference Benchmark can test the performance of different computing combinations including CPU, CPU+GPU, CPU+AI components, and CPU+GPU+AI components. This allows for a comprehensive evaluation of the artificial intelligence computing capabilities of Mac devices, providing valuable insights for users and developers.
In addition to measuring hardware performance, Procyon AI Inference Benchmark also evaluates the accuracy of artificial intelligence inference by comparing FP16 and INT precision inference results. This ensures that users can not only assess performance but also understand the reliability of the AI algorithms running on their devices.
The new version of Procyon AI Inference Benchmark is also compatible with other artificial intelligence inference engines such as Microsoft WindowsML, Qualcomm SNPE, Intel OpenVINO, and NVIDIA TensorRT. It can even support Intel’s new 14th generation Core processors with NPU design and Qualcomm’s latest processors for Windows laptops.
UL Solutions has made this tool available to the public, with many industries already utilizing it to measure the artificial intelligence computing performance of notebook devices. As AI continues to play an increasingly important role in technology, tools like Procyon AI Inference Benchmark are crucial for evaluating and optimizing AI algorithms on different platforms.
