The rise of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) has resulted in complex workloads employing multiple DNNs concurrently. This trend introduces unique challenges related to workload distribution, particularly in heterogeneous embedded systems. Current run-time managers struggle to efficiently utilize all computing components on these platforms, resulting in two major problems. First, the system throughput deteriorates due to contention on the computing resources. Second, not all DNNs are affected equally, leading to inconsistent performance levels across different models. To address these challenges, we introduce FairBoost, a framework for efficient and fair multi-DNN inference on heterogeneous embedded systems. FairBoost employs Reinforcement Learning (RL) to efficiently manage multi-DNN workloads. Additionally, it incorporates a novel numerical representation of DNN layers via a Vector Quantized Variational Auto-Encoder (VQ-VAE). Finally, it enables knowledge transfer to similar heterogeneous embedded systems without retraining and/or fine-tuning. Experimental evaluation of FairBoost over 18 DNNs and various multi-DNN scenarios shows an average throughput/fairness improvement of ×3.24. Additionally, FairBoost facilitates knowledge transfer from the initial platform, Orange Pi 5, to a new system, Odroid N2+, without any retraining or fine-tuning achieving similar gains. IEEE

Despite the effectiveness of vision-language supervised fine-tuning in enhancing the performance of vision large language models(VLLMs), existing visual instruction tuning datasets include the following limitations.(1) Instruction annotation quality: despite existing VLLMs exhibiting strong performance,instructions generated by those advanced VLLMs may still suffer from inaccuracies, such as hallucinations.(2) Instructions and image diversity: the limited range of instruction types and the lack of diversity in image data may impact the model's ability to generate diversified and closer to real-world scenarios outputs. To address these challenges, we construct a high-quality, diverse visual instruction tuning dataset MMInstruct,which consists of 973k instructions from 24 domains. There are four instruction types: judgment, multiplechoice, long visual question answering, and short visual question answering. To construct MMInstruct, we propose an instruction generation data engine that leverages GPT-4V, GPT-3.5, and manual correction. Our instruction generation engine enables semi-automatic, low-cost, and multi-domain instruction generation at 1/6 the cost of manual construction. Through extensive experiment validation and ablation experiments,we demonstrate that MMInstruct could significantly improve the performance of VLLMs, e.g., the model fine-tuning on MMInstruct achieves new state-of-the-art performance on 10 out of 12 benchmarks. The code and data shall be available at https://***/yuecao0119/MMInstruct.

We consider the multiobjective optimization problem for the resource allocation of the multiagent network, where each agent contains multiple conflicting local objective functions. The goal is to find compromise solutions minimizing all local objective functions subject to resource constraints as much as possible, i.e., the Pareto optimums. To this end, we first reformulate the multiobjective optimization problem into one single-objective distributed optimization problem by using the weighted Lppreference index,where the weighting factors of all local objective functions are obtained from the optimization procedure so that the optimizer of the latter is the desired Pareto optimum of the former. Next, we propose novel predefined-time algorithms to solve the reformulated problem by time-based generators. We show that the reformulated problem is solved within a predefined time if the local objective functions are strongly convex and smooth. Moreover, the settling time can be arbitrarily preset since it does not depend on the initial values and designed parameters. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.
