Unlike existing work in deep neural network (DNN) graphs optimization for inference performance, we explore DNN graph optimization for energy awareness and savings for power- and resource-constrained machine learning devices. We present a method that allows users to optimize energy consumption or balance between energy and inference performance for DNN graphs. This method efficiently searches through the space of equivalent graphs, and identifies a graph and the corresponding algorithms that incur the least cost in execution. We implement the method and evaluate it with multiple DNN models on a GPU-based machine. Results show that our method achieves significant energy savings, i.e., 24% with negligible performance impact.
