Evaluation of Image Classification training efficiency on the validation split of ImageNet, reporting the number of epochs trained and the total wallclock time required for training.

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) | ImageNet (val) |
| Metric | Epochs |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 6 of 6 |
| 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.

## Metrics

- [Epochs](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-classification-on-imagenet-val-training-time-and-epochs.md?metric=Epochs>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Wallclock Time (hours)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-classification-on-imagenet-val-training-time-and-epochs.md?metric=Wallclock%20Time%20(hours)>): Lower is better; unit: TIME.
