tjwolf said:What was the memory utilization during this? I know nothing of ML, but I'd think reading/analyzing images is an inherently memory-intensive task. If so, not sure what comparing an 8gb M1 Mac with a 16gb Mac w. separate GPUs reveals.
There doesn't seem to be thrashing going on. The COCO dataset is under 1GB post-processing so it should comfortably fit in memory. -

2.2x slower doesn't sound "nearly as fast" as the 16. The low GPU utilization is because ML tasks are automatically dispatched to the neural engine instead.
