How to compute FLOPs

[iris0329]

Dear authors,

Thanks for sharing this brilliant work, I am curious about how do you compute the FLOPs of this network?

This network contains sparse conv, so is there any difference from normal FLOPs computation?

I mean, people often use https://github.com/sovrasov/flops-counter.pytorch or htop.profile to compute FLOPs.

Best, Iris

Hi Iris

We are happy that you are interested in our work!

One difference I see between our FLOPs calculation and the calculation of your references is that we consider addition and multiplication separately instead of multiply-add operations. You can find more details about the FLOPs calculation in our paper (Supplementary Table 5).

Best, Nico
