Configuration

Protocol configuration

The OSI-layer protocol parameters used by ecal.calculators.transmission.Transmission are defined in ecal.configs.protocol_configs. Each layer (application, presentation, session, transport, network, data link, physical) has a dictionary mapping protocol name to a ecal.configs.protocol_configs.LayerProtocol, supporting protocols such as HTTP, TCP, IPv4, WiFi, and Bluetooth.

Hardware profiles

Hardware profiles supply the FLOPS-per-second throughput and power draw (TDP) used to convert FLOP estimates into energy. They are managed by ecal.hardware.profiles and loaded from a bundled YAML file (src/ecal/hardware/data/profiles.yaml).

Profile	FP32 FLOPS	TDP (W)	Device
apple_m2	3.6 TFLOPS	22	mps
nvidia_a100_80gb	19.5 TFLOPS	400	cuda
nvidia_h100_sxm	67 TFLOPS	700	cuda
generic_cpu	1 TFLOPS	100	cpu
generic_edge	0.01 TFLOPS	15	cpu

List them at any time with:

ecal profiles

Or programmatically with ecal.hardware.profiles.list_profiles().

Note

This page covers the configuration mechanism used by the installable ecal package (src/ecal/). The repository’s top-level configs/ and RunCalculator.py are a separate, pre-packaging interface and are not covered by these docs.
