Due to different model structures, different prediction services consume different computing resources when performing predictions. For online prediction services, models that require less computing resources will have a higher proportion of communication time cost, which is called communication-intensive service. Models that require more computing resources have a higher time cost for inference calculations, which is called computationa-intensive services.

For a prediction service, the easiest way to determine what type it is is to look at the time ratio. Paddle Serving provides [Timeline tool](../python/examples/util/README_CN.md), which can intuitively display the time spent in each stage of the prediction service.

For communication-intensive prediction services, requests can be aggregated, and within a limit that can tolerate delay, multiple prediction requests can be combined into a batch for prediction.
