EDEN-ConvNeXtV2-CIFAR-10 — SOTA Optimized
Primary KPI: EAG (Energy-to-Accuracy Gradient) =
-2.1283e-09ΔAcc/ΔJoules
Abstract
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 – Progressive Unfreezing + AMP (E2AM SOTA)

🟢 Green Delta Table
Comparing this model against the reference baseline (ResNet-50 equivalent)
| Metric | ResNet50 Baseline | ConvNeXtV2 (EDEN) | Δ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Accuracy | 0.9354 | 0.9940 | +5.86% |
| Total Energy (J) | 40,291,739 | 12,748,970 | 68.36% saved |
| CO₂ Emissions (kg) | 5.3163 | 1.6822 | — |
| EAG Score | — | -2.1283e-09 | 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 pre-loaded into pinned System RAM to eliminate disk I/O power spikes.
Phase 2 – Progressive Unfreezing: Backbone frozen for the first E_unfreeze epochs (only the classification head trains). At E_unfreeze, all layers are unfrozen and the learning rate is decayed. Gradient accumulation over N micro-batches simulates large batch sizes without proportional VRAM cost, slashing power-draw spikes.
AMP (Automated Mixed Precision): torch.cuda.amp.autocast() halves GPU memory bandwidth, reducing energy per backward pass.
Sparse Regularisation: L1 penalty λ·Σ|W| applied to trainable weights, driving dead neurons to zero and enabling future pruning.
