Hello,
I understood the FLOPS argument but not what is EXPLANATORY variables and how to go about it.



 tom:

After that, you would need to estimate the explanatory variables for each block you want to measure.
Finally you can take the overall power consumption and then allocate that to the layers using the above.


I am only interested in total energy consumption of the model and do not require layerwise diagnostic.
Is there an easy way to do this using PyTorch. Some rough estimates will also do. Even external links to GITHUB repos doing this will help
