Network

Telecommunications network carrying traffic between users and the servers — Wi-Fi, fixed broadband, cellular. Modeled by its energy intensity per gigabyte transferred.

Params

name

A human readable description of the object.

bandwidth_energy_intensity

Electricity consumed per gigabyte transferred end-to-end through the network. Multiplied by the data transferred by jobs to obtain hourly energy use.

Unit: kilowatt_hour / gigabyte.

Calculated attributes

energy_footprint_per_job

Hourly carbon emissions caused by network traffic, broken down by job. Equal to data transferred times bandwidth energy intensity times the country's grid carbon intensity.
