SiliconCarbon™ Intro
Comprehensive guide to SiliconCarbon™.
SiliconCarbon™ provides real-time estimates of carbon emissions based on GPU usage. It helps businesses monitor and reduce their environmental impact.
Key Features
- Usage-Based Calculation:
- Calculate emissions based on GPU type, usage hours, and workload.
- Geo-Location Sensitivity:
- Adjust for local energy sources and carbon intensity by region.
Main Features
1. Carbon Emission Estimates
- Displays carbon emissions in kilograms (Kg) for specified hardware configurations and usage durations.
- Supports over 50 different GPU models for accurate calculations.
2. Geo-Location Sensitivity
- Adjusts calculations based on:
- Local energy grid data and carbon intensity (updated daily).
- Regional or postal code-specific configurations.
3. Data Input Options
- Public Cloud: Select from major cloud providers (e.g., AWS, Google Cloud, Azure).
- Postal Code: Specify a zip code to account for local energy grid data.
4. Historical Records
- Provides detailed logs of past calculations, including:
- Hardware type.
- Usage hours.
- Regional or provider-specific data.
- Calculated carbon emission in Kg CO₂ eq.
User Interface Overview
Input Fields
| Field | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
hardware_type | Choose from a dropdown menu listing supported GPUs. | A10 |
hour_used | Enter the duration of GPU usage in hours. | 1 hour |
data_center | Specify whether using public cloud or postal code for location-specific calculations. | Amazon Web Services or 10001 |
provider | Choose a cloud provider when using the public cloud option. | AWS |
region_of_computer | Select the region or availability zone for the GPU. | us-east-1 |
Country | Specify the country where the GPU is located. | United States |
Postal Code | Enter the postal code to refine location-specific calculations. | 10001 |
Calculation Formula
The carbon emission is calculated using the following formula:
Kg CO₂ eq. = Power consumption × Time × Carbon intensity
Where:
- Power consumption: Based on the GPU type (in Watts).
- Time: GPU usage duration (in hours).
- Carbon intensity: Region-specific value (CO₂ per kWh).
Results Display
Real-Time Output
- Displays the calculated carbon emission in Kg CO₂ eq. prominently on the interface.
- Includes details such as:
- Hardware Type.
- Hours Used.
- Location (Country/Postal Code or Provider/Region).
Historical Records
- A chronological list of past calculations with complete details, allowing users to track emissions over time.
