Don't forget that Python consumes approximately 70x more power when compared to C.
- fwip 10mo agoNot really applicable to ML. The massive amount of compute running on the GPU is not executing in Python, and is basically the same regardless of host language.
- robomartin 10mo agoThere's a lot of non-GPU hardware surrounding every kind of data center. If this is coded in Python, it is using 70x more energy than C.
- fwip 10mo agoNot in any meaningful way, no.
