solvers.SustainabilityModel

solvers.SustainabilityModel()

Calculates Datacenter-scale Sustainability metrics.

Handles Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), Carbon Intensity, and Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE) across different regional grids. This model simulates the ‘Infrastructure Tax’ — the energy spent on cooling and power delivery rather than on neural computation.
