UL Procyon AI Image Generation

Benchmark GPU AI Image Generation Performance

The Procyon AI Image Generation Benchmark provides a consistent, accurate, and understandable workload for measuring the inference performance of powerful on-device AI accelerators such as high-end discrete GPUs. This benchmark was developed in partnership with multiple key industry members to ensure it produces fair and comparable results across all supported hardware.

The benchmark includes two tests for measuring the performance of both mid-range and high-end discrete graphics cards. We also hope to add more AI image generation tests in the future to support other performance categories. The Stable Diffusion XL (FP16) test is our most demanding AI inference workload, and only the latest high-end GPUs meet the minimum requirements to run it. For moderately powerful discrete GPUs, we recommend the Stable Diffusion 1.5 (FP16) test.

The UL Procyon AI Image Generation Benchmark can be configured to use a selection of different inference engines, and by default uses the recommended optimal inference engine for the system’s hardware.

Features

• Benchmark with NVIDIA® TensorRT™, Intel® OpenVINO™, and ONNX with DirectML.
• Verify inference engine implementation and compatibility.
• Simple to set up and use via the UL Procyon application or via command-line.
• Test with multiple versions of the Stable Diffusion AI model.
• Compare up to 4 results side-by-side in the app.

Inference Engine Performance

With the UL Procyon AI Image Generation Benchmark, you can measure the performance of dedicated AI processing hardware and verify inference engine implementation quality with tests based on a heavy AI image generation workload.

Designed for Professionals

We created our UL Procyon AI Inference Benchmarks for engineering teams who need independent, standardized tools for assessing the general AI performance of inference engine implementations and dedicated hardware.
