No estimate

No hardware requirements for this model

The weights for this model have not been published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any size. It is reachable only through its provider, and no graphics card changes that.

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.

Task
RNA structure prediction

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
tokens

(52 + 388) / 2 = 220 nucleotides per RNA 18 RNA molecules × 220 nucleotides = 3,960 datapoints Rounded to: 4,000 datapoints

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
1.8 × 10¹⁸ FLOP

1. Hardware setup: 576 CPUs (288 nodes × 2 CPUs/node), Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 FLOP/s per CPU: 2.688 × 10¹¹ FLOP/s Total system: 1.548288 × 10¹⁴ FLOP/s 2. Training duration: Directly provided: 8 hours = 28,800 seconds 3. Utilization rate: 40% (0.4) 4. Final calculation: 1.548288 × 10¹⁴ FLOP/s × 28,800s × 0.4 = 1.78 × 10¹⁸ FLOPs

What the numbers mean

About this model

Machine learning a model for RNA structure prediction was published by International School for Advanced Studies,Institute of Structural Biology,Technical University of Munich, in Italy, in November 2020. The organisation is categorised as academia,Academia,Academia.

It works in Biology, and is recorded as doing rNA structure prediction.

Because the weights are not available, none of the hardware figures elsewhere on this site apply to it.

Training and provenance

The training run consumed about 1.8 × 10¹⁸ FLOP. That figure describes the cost of creating it and has no bearing on how quickly it generates text.

Answers

Machine learning a model for RNA structure prediction — common questions

01

What is Machine learning a model for RNA structure prediction used for?

Machine learning a model for RNA structure prediction works in Biology, and is recorded as handling rNA structure prediction. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.

02

How much compute was used to train Machine learning a model for RNA structure prediction?

Around 1.8 × 10¹⁸ FLOP. 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

What GPU do I need to run Machine learning a model for RNA structure prediction?

None. Machine learning a model for RNA structure prediction is a closed model — its weights were never published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any price. It is reachable only through its provider.

04

Is Machine learning a model for RNA structure prediction open source?

The licensing for Machine learning a model for RNA structure prediction was never recorded in our source data. We treat unstated licensing as closed, because an unrecorded licence is not one to rely on.

05

How many parameters does Machine learning a model for RNA structure prediction have?

No parameter count has been published for Machine learning a model for RNA structure prediction, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.

06

Who created Machine learning a model for RNA structure prediction?

Machine learning a model for RNA structure prediction was published by International School for Advanced Studies,Institute of Structural Biology,Technical University of Munich, based in Italy, categorised as academia,Academia,Academia.

07

When was Machine learning a model for RNA structure prediction released?

Machine learning a model for RNA structure prediction was published in November 2020. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.
