So, I am very new to AI category, and just would like to learn all the basic things from the perspective of an AI user (not a developer). Then I found out the MLPerf AI benchmark v2.1 result here: mlcommons.org/en/training-normal-21/
But there are so many different numbers, which makes me confused. On the top of the table it says "benchmark results (minutes)" but what does it mean? Does it mean higher score equals better performance or is it the opposite?
The reason why I am confused with this data is because all the tech media said Nvidia H100 GPU outperforms everybody in this benchmark v2.1 result from MLPerf,
but the table from above website shows that the numbers for the rows of nvidia H100 are not the highest nor the lowest on many of the categories. Can someone tell me how to read the numbers properly and see which ones to look out for?
