How it works

Training duration from measured throughput

Processed samples = kept samples per epoch × epochs; run seconds = processed samples ÷ observed samples/s + epochs × overhead/epoch + fixed overhead A measured-rate workload projection.

Updated: September 2026

Example Scenarios

Measure a representative warmed training interval with synchronized device work. Record the logical sample count, batch size and incomplete-batch policy. Enter compatible throughput and separate overhead once. Compare the next real run and revise the assumptions.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Applying training duration from measured throughput outside its measurement scope

Distributed samplers, iterable-worker tails, oversampling and variable-length examples can change processed counts; model those separately. Gradient accumulation changes optimizer-update counts, not the data-loader batch count shown here. Queue wait, retries and experiment search are separate work; this is not a delivery-date forecast.

FAQ

It controls incomplete-batch handling and the reported data-loader batches. Throughput is not multiplied by batch size again.

The model rejects that workload.

No. Measure the actual hardware, model and pipeline.
