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. [...]

We are happy to announce a major update to our Eco-CI tool, a plugin designed to estimate and reduce the energy consumption of continuous integration pipelines. Previously available exclusively for GitHub Actions, we are excited to announce the integration of Eco-CI with GitLab pipelines. [...]

This blog article is not updated anymore. Please find the newest way to configure NOP Linux in our documentation. At Green Coding Solutions (GCS), one goal is to enable reproducible runs on our cluster. [...]

The long awaited feature to make comparisons with the Green Metrics Tool is finally live 🔥 Our measurement workflow now includes phases (Baseline, Idle, Installation, Boot, Runtime, Remove) which makes our tool compatible with the requirements specified by the Blue Angel for Software. [...]

Green Coding on Mac When we started with the Green Metrics Tool (GMT) we set out to develop tooling to enable developers, decision makers and the wider public to measure and see the impact software is having on the environment. [...]

You do not know about our Eco-CI project yet? Than read up here about it: Eco-CI project As we mentioned in a previous blog article, we’ve been thinking of ways to make CI pipelines more energy efficient. [...]

Many of our developers work on macOS exclusively. In order to create a nicer development experience, we are currently undergoing some work to port our Green Metrics Tool to macOS. [...]
