Validation accuracy results

Our results were obtained by running the applicable training scripts in the tensorflow-20.06-tf1-py3 NGC container on NVIDIA DGX-1 with (8x V100 16G) GPUs. The specific training script that was run is documented in the corresponding model's README.

The following table shows the validation accuracy results of the three classification models side-by-side.

Training performance results

Training performance: NVIDIA DGX A100 (8x A100 40G)

Our results were obtained by running the applicable training scripts in the tensorflow-20.06-tf1-py3 NGC container on NVIDIA DGX A100 with (8x A100 40G) GPUs. Performance numbers (in images per second) were averaged over an entire training epoch. The specific training script that was run is documented in the corresponding model's README.

The following table shows the training performance results of the three classification models side-by-side.
