| # E2AM Ablation Results: EfficientNetV2-S |
|
|
| Energy-aware training ablation study for **EfficientNetV2-S** across three image-classification datasets: **CIFAR-10**, **CIFAR-100**, and **Tiny-ImageNet**. |
|
|
| Each dataset has 15 training variants (8 individual-method M0..M7, 7 cumulative ablation C0..C6) at 50 epochs, plus a 5-variant deployment pipeline (FP32 baseline, structured pruning, pruning+finetune, INT8 quantization, pruned+INT8). |
|
|
| **Status**: 45 completed variants, 0 partial. |

| ## Deployment results |
|
|
| No deployment results in this repo yet. |
|
|
| ## Methodology |
|
|
| **Model**: EfficientNetV2-S (~20.2M params). |
|
|
| **Training protocol**: from scratch, SGD with momentum 0.9, weight decay 5e-4, initial LR 0.1, 50 epochs, 1 warmup epoch. All variants share the same protocol so ablation comparison stays apples-to-apples across the matrix. |
|
|
| **Input**: native dataset resolution upsampled to 128x128 in-model via `nn.Upsample` (FX-traceable to keep D3/D4 INT8 quantization possible). |
|
|
| **Optimization toggles** (the 5 individual methods and their cumulative combinations): |
|
|
| | Method | Mechanism | |
| |---|---| |
| | Tensor cache | Training images held in RAM as a normalized float tensor | |
| | AMP | torch.cuda.amp.autocast + GradScaler | |
| | Grad accum (x2) | Accumulate gradients across 2 mini-batches | |
| | L1 sparsity | Lambda * sum(|w_i|) added to loss with lambda=1e-8 | |
| | Cosine LR | lr(t) = lr_max * 0.5 * (1 + cos(pi*t/T)) | |
| | EAG early-stop | Energy-Aware Gain: stop when accuracy gain per joule plateaus | |
| |
| **Energy measurement**: GPU power sampled at 1 Hz via `nvidia-smi --query-gpu=power.draw`. Energy = trapezoidal integration over power-vs-time. CO₂ = energy_kWh * 0.475 (global average grid intensity). |
|
|
| **Hardware**: Single NVIDIA T4 (14.5 GB) on Kaggle. |

| cifar100/ |
| tiny_imagenet/ |

| comparison_plots/<dataset>/ (per-dataset plots) |
| comparison_plots/cross_dataset/ (cross-dataset plots) |
| README.md (this file) |
| ``` |
|
|
| ## Reproducibility |
|
|
| Each variant directory has a `config.yaml` with the exact configuration used. To reproduce: |
|
|
| 1. `huggingface-cli download Shanmuk4622/E2AM_EfficientNetV2_S --repo-type dataset` |
| 2. Load the `e2am.py` library and call the appropriate config factory |
| 3. Run `e2am.train_one_run(cfg)` |
|
|
| ## Limitations |
|
|
| - Energy measurement is GPU-only (via nvidia-smi); CPU/memory power not included |
| - Pruning is mask-based; no wall-clock speedup without sparsity-aware runtime |
| - INT8 (D3/D4) is CPU FX static quantization (fbgemm); may fail on transformer blocks. Failures logged in metrics.json rather than crashing. |
| - Single-T4 reproduction; multi-GPU not validated |
| - SGD@0.1 is suboptimal for some architectures; the paper compares variant-to-variant deltas which remain meaningful regardless |
