A Question on 'Hours Used' in The Calculator #39

Hi,

I have two questions about using the calculator, and it will be super helpful if you could help to have a look.

(1) If I use 8 X V100 GPUs together to train my model for 1 hour, then for calculating the carbon emission, I guess I should choose V100 as the hardware type and should set 'Hours Used' as 8 X 1 = 8 hours in your calculator.

(2) If I use a TPU v3-256 to train a model for 1 hour. Then since each TPU v3 chip contains 2 tensor-cores, the TPU v3-256 should contain 128 TPU v3 chips. So in your calculator, if I choose 'TPU v3 chip' as the hardware type, the `Hours Used' should be 128 X 1 = 128 hours.

Please let me know if my understanding is correct, thanks!
