Description
Hi,
I have two questions about using the calculator, and it will be super helpful if you could help to have a look.
(1) If I use 8 X V100 GPUs together to train my model for 1 hour, then for calculating the carbon emission, I guess I should choose V100 as the hardware type and should set 'Hours Used' as 8 X 1 = 8 hours in your calculator.
(2) If I use a TPU v3-256 to train a model for 1 hour. Then since each TPU v3 chip contains 2 tensor-cores, the TPU v3-256 should contain 128 TPU v3 chips. So in your calculator, if I choose 'TPU v3 chip' as the hardware type, the `Hours Used' should be 128 X 1 = 128 hours.
Please let me know if my understanding is correct, thanks!

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. First inspect the calculator's hardware and “Hours Used” guidance, then determine how multi-GPU V100 and TPU v3-256 usage is represented. Done means the supported interpretation is clearly documented for both examples.
