This model is part of Project EDEN (Energy-Driven Evolution of Networks), implementing the E2AM (Energy Efficient Advanced Model) Framework. The goal is to shift AI benchmarking from pure accuracy to Green SOTA — maximising predictive power per Joule consumed.

Applied Technique: Phase 2 – EDEN Classic Energy-Aware Sparse Training

Profiling Environment

Component	Specification
GPU	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (11 GB VRAM, 250 W TDP)
CPU	Intel Xeon W-2125 (4 cores / 8 threads @ 4.00 GHz)
RAM	63.66 GB System RAM
OS	Windows 10
Dataset	CIFAR-10 — 60,000 images – 10 classes (32×32 px)

🟢 Green Delta Table

Comparing this model against the reference baseline (ResNet-50 equivalent)

Metric	ResNet50 Baseline	UNet (EDEN)	Δ
Accuracy	0.9354	0.9951	`N/A`
Total Energy (J)	40,291,739	0	`N/A saved`
CO₂ Emissions (kg)	5.3163	0.0000	—
EAG Score	—	N/A	ΔAcc/ΔJoules

A positive EAG means this model learns more per Joule than the baseline. A negative EAG indicates a trade-off where higher accuracy required more energy investment.

E2AM Algorithm — Applied Phases

Phase 1 – Zero-Overhead Initialization: Dataset cached in System RAM.

Phase 2 – EDEN Classic: Energy-aware training loop on classic CNN architectures. Applies the same EAG early-exit criterion (EAG < γ_EAG for 3 consecutive epochs → terminate), L1 sparsity penalty, and AMP to architectures like ResNet, VGG, AlexNet, DenseNet, InceptionV3, and UNet.

📊 Training Visualizations

EAG Metric Trajectory

EAG = ΔAccuracy / ΔJoules — positive means learning more per Joule than baseline
