Profiling Lightweight Large Language Models

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2607.20806v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Lightweight large language models (LLMs) are increasingly being deployed locally on personal computers and are expected to play a growing role in resource-constrained edge and mobile environments. In such settings, energy consumption, execution time, and memory usage directly affect practical usability, yet existing evaluations of LLM efficiency largely rely on proxy descriptors such as parameter count or FLOPs, often decoupled from task precision. This paper introduces a PTME-based experimental framework for the precision-aware profiling of lightweight LLM inference, jointly measuring Precision, execution Time, peak Memory usage, and Energy consumption through direct hardware-level measurements. The methodology is applied to a representative
