- Machines report every five seconds; sleeping or offline machines appear as gaps rather than estimated readings.
Field notes
The described agent runs on each GPU server or Slurm node and sends a machine heartbeat every five seconds. For shared clusters, the page says measured GPU and CPU energy is divided among jobs, pods, containers, or users; its sample table is explicitly illustrative and lists the electricity price and carbon-intensity assumptions. The site also presents a separate one-command free tool for measuring an individual machine.
