Experiments were conducted using a private infrastructure, which has a carbon efficiency of 0.432 kg CO2 eq / kWh. A cumulative of 98 hours of computation was performed on hardware of type RTX A6000 (TDP of 300W).
Total emissions are estimated to be 12.7 kg CO2 eq of which 0 percents were directly offset.
Estimations were conducted using the MachineLearning Impact calculator presented in Lacoste et al. 2019.
