450118 Cost_training_computation   Cost of training computation was calculated as the <a href="https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/artificial-intelligence-training-computation" target=”_blank”>system's training computation</a> divided by a floating-point operation (FLOP)/$ value. The FLOP/$ value was calculated using one of two methods: 1. The value of FLOP/s per $ at the time of the system's publication (according to the <a href="https://epochai.org/blog/trends-in-gpu-price-performance" target=”_blank”>"Our data" trend line in Figure 1 here</a>). 2. Dividing the theoretical peak throughput (including "Tensor Core" performance) by the reported unit price of the hardware that was actually used for training. The authors expect that Method 2 is more accurate on average. If an estimate via Method 2 is available, they report that estimate; otherwise, they use Method 1. Additionally, the authors made the following assumptions for all systems, in order to convert theoretical peak FLOP/s per $ into realized FLOP/$: 1. Hardware utilization is 35% 2. The amount of GPU time the given hardware is used for in its lifetime is 2 years. 2022-07-09 09:28:43 2023-06-15 05:05:42       5515 21327
