Caffe

This is a benchmark of the Caffe deep learning framework and currently supports the AlexNet and Googlenet model and execution on both CPUs and NVIDIA GPUs.

To run this test with the Phoronix Test Suite, the basic command is: phoronix-test-suite benchmark caffe.

Performance Metrics

Caffe 2020-02-13

Model: AlexNet - Acceleration: NVIDIA CUDA - Iterations: 100

OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 62 public results since 26 September 2020 with the latest data as of 23 February 2024.

Additional benchmark metrics will come after OpenBenchmarking.org has collected a sufficient data-set.

Based on OpenBenchmarking.org data, the selected test / test configuration (Caffe 2020-02-13 - Model: AlexNet - Acceleration: NVIDIA CUDA - Iterations: 100) has an average run-time of 2 minutes. By default this test profile is set to run at least 3 times but may increase if the standard deviation exceeds pre-defined defaults or other calculations deem additional runs necessary for greater statistical accuracy of the result.

Based on public OpenBenchmarking.org results, the selected test / test configuration has an average standard deviation of 0.2%.
