    SG --> END([End])Usually, the sample and model don't reside on the same device initially (e.g., a GPU holds the model while the sample is on CPU after being loaded from disk or collected as live data). Accordingly, we measure timing in three parts:cpu_to_gpu,on_device_inference, andgpu_to_cpu, as well as a sum of the three,total. Note that themodel.device()determines the execution device. The inference flow is shown below:flowchart LR;

You can pass custom functions tobenchmarkas seen inthis example.LimitationsAllocated memory measurements are only available on CUDA devices.Energy consumption can only be measured on NVIDIA Jetson platforms at the moment.FLOPs and parameter count is not support for custom classes.AcknowledgementThis work has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 871449 (OpenDR).
