The table about hardware latency is used to evaluate the inference time in special environment and inference engine. The following text used to introduce the format that PaddleSlim support.
## Introduce
The table about hardware latency saved all possible operations, one operation in the table including type and parameters, such as: type can be `conv2d`, and corresponding parameters can be the size of feature map, number of kernel, and the size of kernel.
The latency of every operation depends on hardware and inference engine.
## Overview format
The table about hardware latency saved in the way of file or multi-line string.
The first line of the table about hardware latency saved the information about version, every line in the following represents a operation and its latency.
## Version
The information about version split by comma in the english format, and the detail is hardware, inference engine and timestamp.
-** hardware: ** Used to mark the environment of hardware, including type of architecture, version and so on.
-** inference engine: ** Used to mark inference engine, including the name of inference engine, version, optimize options and so on.
-** timestamp: ** Used to mark the time of this table created.
## Operation
The information about operation split by comma in the english format, the information about operation and latency split by tabs.
