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. An important step towards accurate measurements was the creation of NOP Linux, our custom Linux distro that disables as many background processes as possible to avoid interruptions during measurements. Another crucial step was ensuring the reliable operation of the PowerSpy2, so we could measure the entire power consumption. [...]

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. One idea we had was to give developers a tool which allows them to measure the energy used by their CI runs. [...]

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. [...]

You do not know about our Eco-CI project yet? Than read up here about it: Eco-CI project One question we’ve been tinkering around with here at Green Coding Solutions is how can we make CI pipelines around the world a little bit greener. [...]

In the green software community we see very often that people use the TDP of the processor as a metric to estimate how much energy the CPU will consume for a specific workload. [...]

A detailed blog article is yet to come, but for everyone who follows our blog only and not our repositories we wanted to highlight that we open sourced the new XGBoost variant of the SPECPower estimation model for cloud workloads on github called Cloud Energy. [...]

We recently had a team of aspiring UX researches at Green Coding Solutions that made a research project on how the Green Metrics Tool can be used. This is a guest article with their results [...]

Last week we have been on the SDIA event for sustainble software and held a workshop on measuring the energy digital products. We presented approchaes where you measure the energy either with tool like Scaphandre or the Green Metrics Tool as well as approaches for restricted environments like the cloud. Here the SDIA DEF Model and our Cloud Energy ML Model where presented. [...]
