About Eco2AI

The Eco2AI is a python library for CO₂ emission tracking. It monitors energy consumption of CPU & GPU devices and estimates equivalent carbon emissions. The Eco2AI is applicable to all python scripts and all you need is to add the couple of strings to your code. All emissions data and information about your devices are recorded in a local file.

Every single run of Tracker() accompanies by a session description added to the log file, including the following elements:

• project_name
• experiment_description
• start_time
• duration(s)
• power_consumption(kWTh)
• CO₂_emissions(kg)
• CPU_name
• GPU_name
• OS
• country

Installation

To install the eco2ai library, run the following command:

pip install eco2ai

Use examples

The eco2ai interface is quite simple. Here is the simplest usage example:

import eco2ai

tracker = eco2ai.Tracker(project_name="YourProjectName", experiment_description="training the <your model> model")

tracker.start()

<your gpu &(or) cpu calculations>

tracker.stop()

The eco2ai also supports decorators. As soon as the decorated function is executed, the information about the emissions will be written to the emission.csv file:

from eco2ai import track

@track
def train_func(model, dataset, optimizer, epochs):
    ...

train_func(your_model, your_dataset, your_optimizer, your_epochs)

For your convenience, every time you instantiate the Tracker object with your custom parameters, these settings will be saved until the library is deleted. Eeach new tracker will be created with your custom settings (if you create a tracker with new parameters, they will be saved instead of the old ones). For example:

import eco2ai

tracker = eco2ai.Tracker(
    project_name="YourProjectName", 
    experiment_description="training <your model> model",
    file_name="emission.csv"
    )

tracker.start()
<your gpu &(or) cpu calculations>
tracker.stop()

...

# now, we want to create a new tracker for new calculations
tracker = eco2ai.Tracker()
# now, it's equivalent to:
# tracker = eco2ai.Tracker(
#     project_name="YourProjectName", 
#     experiment_description="training the <your model> model",
#     file_name="emission.csv"
# )
tracker.start()
<your gpu &(or) cpu calculations>
tracker.stop()

You can also set parameters using the set_params() function, as in the example below:

from eco2ai import set_params, Tracker

set_params(
    project_name="My_default_project_name",
    experiment_description="We trained...",
    file_name="my_emission_file.csv"
)

tracker = Tracker()
# now, it's equivelent to:
# tracker = Tracker(
#     project_name="My_default_project_name",
#     experiment_description="We trained...",
#     file_name="my_emission_file.csv"
# )
tracker.start()
<your code>
tracker.stop()

Important note

If for some reasons it is not possible to define country, then emission coefficient is set to 436.529kg/MWh, which is global average. Global Electricity Review

For proper calculation of gpu and cpu power consumption, you should create a "Tracker" before any gpu or CPU usage.

Create a new “Tracker” for every new calculation.
