Deep neural networks are solutions to problems involving pattern recognition and several works try to find ways to optimize the performance of these networks. This optimization requires suitable hardware to be implemented, hardware that can be very expensive for small and medium-sized organizations. The objective of this work is to propose a methodology to evaluate the performance and cost of training neural networks, considering the factors that most impact training time and evaluate the total financial cost of the environment for this task. In this sense, it was observed that factors such as the size of the input image and the network architecture have a great impact on the training time metric and consequently on the total cost.
