• Abstract: The size and complexity of deep neural networks continue to grow exponentially, significantly increasing energy consumption for training and inference by these models. We introduce an open-source package eco2AI to help data scientists and researchers to track energy consumption and equivalent CO2 emissions of their models in a straightforward way. In eco2AI we put emphasis on accuracy of energy consumption tracking and correct regional CO2 emissions accounting. We encourage research community to search for new optimal Artificial Intelligence (AI) architectures with a lower computational cost. The motivation also comes from the concept of AI-based green house gases sequestrating cycle with both Sustainable AI and Green AI pathways.

  We propose a new metric to capture the overall energy cost of inference over the lifecycle of an AIoT system. With eCAL we show that the better a model is and the more it is used, the more energy efficient an inference is. We also evaluate the Carbon Footprint of the AIoT system by calculating the equivalent CO$_2$ emissions based on the energy consumption and the Carbon Intensity (CI) across different countries.
