The calculator, based on common parameters used in life-cycle analysis of data centers and their inventories, computes the impact factors. Those are then rendered in different graphical representations, both for the whole of the data center and for the selected FU.

This calculator is an auxillary tool to the research paper funded by ADEME on the environmental impacts of generative artificial intelligence training on GPUs, to be published by the end of 2025, and to [Falk et al., 2025, "More than Carbon: Cradle-to-Grave environmental impacts of GenAI training on the Nvidia A100 GPU"](https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.00093).
