Step 1 of 2

How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter the training dataset size and number of features.
  2. Set the network architecture: hidden layers, units per layer, and activation function.
  3. Input learning rate, batch size, and number of training epochs.
  4. Review the estimated training time and GPU/CPU memory requirement.
  5. Monitor training loss and validation loss curves — stop early if validation loss increases while training loss decreases.

What each input means

Analysis Type
Calculation mode to use.
Input Size
e.g., 784 for 28×28 images
Output Size
Number of classes
Dropout Rate
0-1, typically 0.2-0.5

How this is calculated

Formula

Params = Σ(weights + biases) per layer | Memory ≈ 4 bytes × params

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Analysis Type = 0, Input Size = 784, Hidden Layers = 2, Hidden Units per Layer = 256 = 20 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Total Parameters
    Total Parameters
    269322 = 269322
  3. Calculate Parameter Memory
    Parameter Memory
    1.0273818969726562 = 1.0273818969726562
  4. Calculate Total Memory
    Total Memory
    2.2141876220703125 = 2.2141876220703125
