Wir sind von der dena (Deutsche Energie Agentur) beauftragt worden, eine hoffentlich bahnbrechende Studie zum Thema Green Coding als Standard in der Softwareentwicklung fĂĽr eine stromsparende Gestaltung der Digitalisierung zu erstellen. [...]
Something we often encounter when talking to clients is that they often have no idea of how much energy the various components in their pipeline use. We have developed multiple projects like Eco-CI that measures the energy usage of CI/CD pipelines or Power Hog which logs energy consumption on desktops. [...]
In the age of digital revolution, our reliance on technology is ever-increasing, but so is our carbon footprint. Amidst this tech boom, a pressing question arises: how can we leverage technology to combat, rather than contribute to, climate change? [...]
CPU utilization is an interesting value to use if you ware interested in either energy usage or optimizing your code. We have written a long case study on if it is useful in the first place. [...]
While reading this great article https://evanhahn.com/worlds-smallest-png/ about the smallest png image possible I started thinking about how old the png standard is and how many more newer formats are out there. [...]
Standard benchmarks play a pivotal role in the field of software engineering, serving as a foundational element for ensuring quality and efficiency. The Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC) benchmarks, in particular, have established a high standard across the database sector. [...]
While writing the “Software Life Cycle Assessment done in the wild” article I needed to develop a little server that could do three simple tasks. Because the article became too long I decided to separate the methodology how to develop with environmental impact in mind into a dedicated part. [...]
In this article I want to propose a simple way to do a Software Life Cycle Assessment for a piece of code. While explaining important concepts and tradeoffs that seem sensible for a little project. [...]
Getting power usage data in cloud is a tough topic and one of the reasons projects such as Cloud Carbon Footprint exist. Typically cloud vendors, especially hyperscalers, do neither supply energy consumption data of the whole machine from PDUs or similar, nor do they provide access to CPU internal energy data like for instance RAPL.
