ABSTRACT: This paper explores the application of various time series prediction models to forecast graphical processing unit (GPU) utilization and power draw for machine learning applications using data sets arising from two distinct but representative deep learning inference workloads: the architecturally diverse Inception-v3 and the industry-standard MLPerf ResNet-50. We investigate the use of statistical models, Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), and Transformer Neural Networks (TNNs). Our results show that RNNs outperform other models for GPU utilization prediction, while TNNs excel in power draw prediction. These findings may contribute to the development of energy-efficient strategies in high-performance computing environments equipped with GPUs.
