ML has an impact on the climate. But not all models are born equal. Compute your model's emissions with our calculator and add the results to your paper with our generated latex template
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!
