We tried to evaluate performance of Intel Caffe running on Atom. The out-of-box Intel Caffe out perform bvlc Caffe, thats nice to have. However, when we tried running Intel Caffe with MKL2017, and expect it would give performance boost as on Xeon and Xeon Phi, the performance dropped more than 20x instead.
Did you tried on Atom or Xeon Phi processor?
A: on Atom processor. Model name is Atom C2750 2.4GHz
Did you had AVX 512 enabled?
A: This process does not support AVX512 or AVX2
proper engine selection is used, on latest Intel Caffe (with new MKL release 2017.0.2.20170110), performance is better but still lower than OOB Intel Caffe:
batch size changed to 1
./build/tools/caffe time -engine=MKL2017 -model models/bvlc_alexnet/deploy.prototxt
Average Forward pass: 147.002 ms.
./build/tools/caffe time -model models/bvlc_alexnet/deploy.prototxt
Average Forward pass: 66.6948 ms.
