Deep convolutional neural networks have made great progress in a variety of computer vision tasks. With the gradual improvement of its performance, the layers of neural networks become deeper, and the training-validation time and computational complexity increase dramatically. How to find the relationship between characteristics of deep neural networks and their training-validation time is of great significance for accelerating convolutional neural networks. This paper analyzes the computation of several classical deep convolutional neural networks (DNNs) proposed in the field of image recognition, and compares the computation with the total time of actual training and verification. It is found that the computation of a deep neural network is not linearly related to running time of training and verification.
