Evaluation of Image Classification performance on CIFAR-100 focusing on the efficiency of distributed or federated learning algorithms, measured by the number of communication rounds required to achieve specific accuracy targets across different client configurations (K).

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Image Classification |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | CIFAR-100 |
| Metric | Communication Rounds (Acc 40%, K=10) |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 15 of 15 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.
