About energy efficiency

[BaophanN]

Dear author, in table 4 of the paper, you reported about the energy consumption of the SAD model. The energy data is in the Planning result. I wonder why there is no energy efficiency reported in the Perception or Prediction result? Thank you.

Hi, sorry for the confusion, but what we report is the whole pipeline energy efficiency, from the perception, to prediction, and planning. planning is the last stage and will utilize all previous stages.

Thanks for your response, may I ask why you did not report the energy consumption of more previous work. Because I see that ST-P3 has much more parameters than SAD so isn't it kind of obvious that ST-P3 will consume much more energy?

And for clarification, the "/vol4/Coin-MLP-back/Pure-MLP-SNN/18M-with-downsample-conv/checkpoint-308.pth.tar" you put in the .yml file is the checkpoint of the pretrained model right? Which is the checkpoint you provided in the huggingface link. I just read that this checkpoint is not valid anymore. So how should I modify if I train from scratch?

Hi author, can you consider releasing the script for calculating the energy consumption from the baseline ST-P3 and SAD?
