I want to use codecarbon to measure the energy usage of my scripts. Does using OfflineEmissionsTracker add any overhead? If so, by how much?

Should codecarbon only be used on short, toy examples, or can we use it on the whole training loop?

Hello,

CodeCarbon use a scheduler that, by default, call for the measure every 15 seconds so it has no significant overhead.
