What the numbers mean

Background

genCNN + dyn eval was published by Chinese Academy of Sciences,Huawei Noah's Ark Lab,Dublin City University, in China, in March 2015. academia,Industry,Academia is the category the publisher falls under.

It works in Language, and is recorded as doing language modeling.

Its weights were never published, so it can only be reached through its provider. No graphics card changes that.

How it was trained

Training it took roughly 3.4 × 10¹⁶ FLOP of computation, on NVIDIA Tesla K40s — a measure of what producing the model cost, not of how fast it answers.

It was trained on about 929,000 tokens of text.

It is tracked in the underlying dataset for one reason in particular: sOTA improvement.

Answers

genCNN + dyn eval — common questions

01

Is genCNN + dyn eval open source?

No. genCNN + dyn eval has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

02

How many parameters does genCNN + dyn eval have?

genCNN + dyn eval has 8M parameters. 8M according to https://arxiv.org/pdf/1508.06615. That figure is the total, and it is what decides how much memory the model needs — roughly half a gigabyte per billion at the compression most people use.

03

Who created genCNN + dyn eval?

genCNN + dyn eval was published by Chinese Academy of Sciences,Huawei Noah's Ark Lab,Dublin City University, based in China, categorised as academia,Industry,Academia.

04

When was genCNN + dyn eval released?

genCNN + dyn eval was published in March 2015. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

05

What is genCNN + dyn eval used for?

genCNN + dyn eval works in Language, and is recorded as handling language modeling. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.

06

How much compute was used to train genCNN + dyn eval?

Around 3.4 × 10¹⁶ FLOP, on NVIDIA Tesla K40s. 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.

07

What GPU do I need to run genCNN + dyn eval?

None. genCNN + dyn eval 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.

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.
