Description

In order to better estimate energy consumption, it would be interesting to have access to dynamic data.
Two metrics have been identified and could help the estimation, if dynamically available (or computable):

  • Power Usage Efficiency, which could be aggregated with a compute time and any specific hardware configuration.

  • Data Center Energy Management, a fairly new KPI which is being discussed, technical specification can be found here (but I still had not seen anything particular to ML)

It would be interesting to have those values (or data to compute it) for cloud providers, starting with French ones as some data is available.

Another (secondary) goal for Code Carbon, instead of measuring the whole impact of a ML algorithm in the chain, could be to highlight its measure in the Life cycle assessment, to let users know which is the context of the measure.
