TensorFlow

This is a benchmark of the TensorFlow deep learning framework using the TensorFlow reference benchmarks (tensorflow/benchmarks with tf_cnn_benchmarks.py). Note with the Phoronix Test Suite there is also pts/tensorflow-lite for benchmarking the TensorFlow Lite binaries if desired for complementary metrics.

To run this test with the Phoronix Test Suite, the basic command is: phoronix-test-suite benchmark tensorflow.

Performance Metrics

Analyze Test Configuration:

TensorFlow 2.12

Device: CPU - Batch Size: 32 - Model: ResNet-50

OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 279 public results since 28 March 2023 with the latest data as of 27 September 2023.

Below is an overview of the generalized performance for components where there is sufficient statistically significant data based upon user-uploaded results. It is important to keep in mind particularly in the Linux/open-source space there can be vastly different OS configurations, with this overview intended to offer just general guidance as to the performance expectations.
