GPT Power Profiler
This tool profiles the power consumption of GPT-5 and earlier models during API calls by measuring CPU/GPU usage over time. It provides actionable insights for optimizing energy efficiency, especially important for large-scale deployments in energy-conscious environments.
What It Does
- Profiles energy consumption during GPT model inference.
- Real-time monitoring of CPU and GPU utilization.
- Generates detailed power usage graphs for analysis.
Installation
1. Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/your-repo/gpt_power_profiler.git
cd gpt_power_profiler2. Install the required dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txtUsage
Command-line Usage
python gpt_power_profiler.py --models gpt-4,gpt-5 --prompts prompts.json--models: Comma-separated list of GPT models to profile (e.g.,gpt-4,gpt-5).--prompts: Path to a JSON file containing an array of prompts.
Example
1. Create a prompts.json file:
[
"Hello, how are you?",
"What is the capital of France?",
"Tell me a joke."
]2. Run the profiler:
python gpt_power_profiler.py --models gpt-4 --prompts prompts.json3. View the generated power usage graphs in the current directory.
