No estimate

No hardware requirements for this model

This model's weights are open, but no parameter count has been published for it. Every memory and speed figure starts from that number, so we would rather show nothing than a fabricated estimate.

On record

Full specification

Everything on record for this model. Most of it describes how it was trained rather than how it runs — useful context for judging how much work went into it, and how it compares with models built at a different scale.

What it does

The problem areas the model was built for. A model can carry several of each.

Domain
Biology
Task
Protein structure comparison

Size

How large the model is and how much data it was trained on. Parameters are the figure that decides whether it fits on a given graphics card.

Training data
13,265 tokens

SCOPe v2.07 Dataset: Total PDB Entries: 87,224 Total Domains: 276,231 Training Set Size = Total Domains - Cross-Validation Domains Training Set Size = 276,231 - 13,265 = 262,966 domains

Training compute

The arithmetic performed to train the model, measured in floating-point operations. It is a measure of what the training run cost, not of how fast the finished model answers you.

Training compute
3.8 × 10¹⁸ FLOP

1. Hardware setup: 2x TITAN Xp GPUs (1.10×10¹³ FLOP/s each) 2. Training duration: Estimated 5 days (432,000 seconds) based on "several days" mention -> "Likely" confidence 3. Utilization rate: 40% 4. Calculation: 2 GPUs × 1.10×10¹³ FLOP/s × 432,000s × 0.40 = 3.8×10¹⁸ FLOPs

What the numbers mean

Where it came from

GraSR was published by Shanghai Jiao Tong University,Ministry of Education of China, in the country recorded as China, during March 2022. The category the publisher falls under is academia,Government.

It works in the domain of Biology, and is recorded as performing the task of protein structure comparison.

The weights are published, so it can be downloaded and run on your own hardware indefinitely, offline, with no account attached.

What went into building it

The training run consumed about 3.8 × 10¹⁸ FLOP, on hardware recorded as NVIDIA TITAN Xp. That figure measures what producing the model cost, and has no bearing on how fast it answers.

The training set ran to roughly 13,265 tokens of text.

Answers

GraSR — common questions

01

GraSR— where can I download it?

The weights are published, though we do not hold a repository link for it. This site calculates hardware requirements rather than hosting model files.

02

GraSR— how much compute was used to train it?

Training consumed around 3.8 × 10¹⁸ FLOP, on hardware recorded as NVIDIA TITAN Xp. That measures what producing the model cost and says nothing about how quickly it answers once trained — inference speed comes from memory bandwidth, not from the training budget.

03

GraSR— what GPU do I need to run it?

We cannot say. It has open weights, but no parameter count has been published for it, and every memory and speed calculation starts from that number. We would rather show nothing than a fabricated estimate.

04

GraSR— is it open source?

Its weights are published, so it can be downloaded and run on your own hardware. Note that open weights is not the same as open source in the full sense — it says nothing about the training data, the training code, or the commercial terms attached.

05

GraSR— how many parameters does it have?

No parameter count has been published for it, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.

06

GraSR— who created it?

It was published by Shanghai Jiao Tong University,Ministry of Education of China, based in China, an organisation categorised as academia,Government.

07

GraSR— when was it released?

It was published in March 2022. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

08

GraSR— what is it used for?

It works in the domain of Biology, and is recorded as handling the task of protein structure comparison. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.

The other direction

Looking at it from the other side?

This page starts from the model. If you already own a card and want to know everything it will run, start from the hardware instead.
