提出双维度可持续性评估体系,量化算法性能与能耗的平衡关系。

Performance is not All You Need: Sustainability Considerations for Algorithms

  • 设计能量效率比与准确率的谐平均指标(FMS),衡量单位能耗下的性能表现。
  • 构建可持续曲线下的面积指标(ASC),刻画算法全周期能效特性。
  • 在图像分类、分割等多任务中验证通用性,助力绿色AI落地。

本文聚焦深度学习模型训练产生的高碳排放问题,核心挑战在于算法性能与能耗之间的平衡。提出创新的二维可持续性评估体系,突破传统单一性能导向的评价范式。首次引入两个量化指标:可持续谐平均(FMS)通过调和平均整合累积能耗与性能参数,揭示单位能耗下的算法性能;可持续曲线面积(ASC)构建性能-功耗曲线,表征算法全生命周期的能效特征。为验证指标普适性,研究在图像分类、分割、姿态估计及批处理与在线学习等多种多模态任务上构建基准。实验表明,该体系可为跨任务算法提供量化评估依据,推动绿色AI研究从理论走向实践。可持续评估框架代码已公开,为产业建立算法能效标准提供方法支持。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

This work focuses on the high carbon emissions generated by deep learning model training, specifically addressing the core challenge of balancing algorithm performance and energy consumption. It proposes an innovative two-dimensional sustainability evaluation system. Different from the traditional single performance-oriented evaluation paradigm, this study pioneered two quantitative indicators that integrate energy efficiency ratio and accuracy: the sustainable harmonic mean (FMS) integrates accumulated energy consumption and performance parameters through the harmonic mean to reveal the algorithm performance under unit energy consumption; the area under the sustainability curve (ASC) constructs a performance-power consumption curve to characterize the energy efficiency characteristics of the algorithm throughout the cycle. To verify the universality of the indicator system, the study constructed benchmarks in various multimodal tasks, including image classification, segmentation, pose estimation, and batch and online learning. Experiments demonstrate that the system can provide a quantitative basis for evaluating cross-task algorithms and promote the transition of green AI research from theory to practice. Our sustainability evaluation framework code can be found here, providing methodological support for the industry to establish algorithm energy efficiency standards.
