GPU utilisation (MFU) Calculator

Work out model FLOPs utilisation for training from throughput and hardware peak.

How it's worked out

  • MFU = 6 × parameters × tokens per second ÷ peak FLOPS
  • Dense transformer, forward and backward pass, attention FLOPs ignored
NoteUse the dense peak for your precision; sparse peaks overstate the hardware.
