Accelerating Large Scale Real-Time GNN Inference using Channel Pruning
Summary: Channel pruning via LASSO identifies influential GNN channels per layer for large-scale real-time inference. Two inference regimes and a feature-reuse scheme cut compute/memory, achieving 3.27x GPU and 6.67x CPU speedups with minimal accuracy loss.
