What is the standard unit used to measure AI training energy consumption?

The standard unit used to measure AI training energy consumption is kilowatt-hours (kWh) [1]. Kilowatt-hours serve as the primary unit for tracking electricity usage during computational tasks [2].
In addition to kilowatt-hours, energy consumption and environmental impact are frequently expressed through emerging metrics such as carbon equivalents, measured in kilograms of CO₂ equivalent (\(\text{kg CO}_2\text{eq}\)), which translates electricity usage into environmental impact based on the carbon intensity of local energy grids [3]. Other metrics used to evaluate energy efficiency include inferences per joule and Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) [4]. Would you also like to know how kilowatt-hours are used to calculate carbon emissions for AI training?Réponse terminée. Une option de suivi est disponible.
