Codecarbon extension

This extension allows you to track the carbon emissions of your code directly from your VsCode. It uses the CodeCarbon package to estimate the carbon emissions of your code.

Features

• Track the carbon emissions of your code directly from your VsCode.

• Start and stop the emissions tracking with a simple click.

• Save it into a csv file for further analysis.

Requirements

The extension uses codecarbon to measure the carbon emissions. This package connects to your hardware via specific APIs to get to know the power usage of your CPU/GPU/RAM. These APIs depend on the brand and OS. See https://mlco2.github.io/codecarbon/methodology.html#power-usage for the needed tools for your specific setup.

Note: if you do not install the requirements, codecarbon will track in fallback mode.

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

• codecarbon.outputFileLocation: The location of the output file. Default is userHome which will generate the .codecarbon.emissions.csv file into the user home.
• codecarbon.launchOnStartup: If true, the extension will start tracking the emissions when you open a new window. Defaults to true.
