2. Experiment Workflow

2.1 Launching A Single Experiment

Every configuration file specifies the DNN model and the batch size to be used, as well as other system configuration parameters (such as GPU memory size, SSD Bandwidth, the baseline type, and so on).

To run a single experiment, directly find its corresponding config file and use. For example:

./sim "$relative_path_to_config_file"
    # e.g.,  ./sim configs/example.config
