EdgeWorkloadComponent
A whole-device opaque resource described only by a 0..1 utilisation level (an "appliance-style" component). Used when individual CPU/RAM specs are not modeled or don’t apply, only how loaded the device is.
When to use this class
Use EdgeWorkloadComponent for appliance-style devices where the internal hardware is opaque. Use EdgeRAMComponent, EdgeCPUComponent, and EdgeStorage when compute and memory components need to be modeled separately.
Params
name
A human readable description of the object.
carbon_footprint_manufacturing_per_unit
Embodied carbon emitted to manufacture one unit of the component.
Unit: kilogram.
power_per_unit
Electrical power drawn by one fully-loaded unit.
Unit: watt.
lifespan
Expected time before a unit is replaced. Embodied carbon is amortised over this duration.
Unit: year.
idle_power_per_unit
Electrical power drawn by one idle unit.
Unit: watt.
nb_of_units
Number of identical units in the component.
Unit: dimensionless.
