Benchmarks

The Handheld Multi-Modal application ships with the 2026.2-20260813 version of Visual Pipeline and Platform Evaluation Tool (ViPPET). ViPPET is included in the application package and starts automatically as part of the deployment.

Using ViPPET for Benchmarking

ViPPET allows you to compare the performance of AI pipelines across different combinations of supported hardware (CPU, GPU, NPU, NPU+GPU) to determine the best device configuration for a specific workload.

To access the benchmarking functionality:

1. Open ViPPET at https://localhost:1443.

2. Navigate to the Benchmarks section.

3. Select the pipeline and hardware combinations to evaluate.

4. Run the benchmark and review the results, including throughput and resource utilization metrics.

Edge Workloads and Benchmarks Guide

For platform-level benchmarking beyond ViPPET — vision AI inference, hardware-accelerated media processing, end-to-end video analytics pipelines, and generative AI — see the Edge Workloads and Benchmarks Guide.
