Green Software
Info
Green software is part of Sustainable Computing / Green IT.
Green software can be divided into multiple aspects:
- Energy-efficient β consume the least amount of electricity possible
- Resource-efficient β use the least amount of resources possible (including embodied carbon)
- Carbon-aware β do more when the electricity is cleaner and do less when the electricity is dirtier
Definition
Why does it matter?
Software engineers social and environmental responsibility
How?
Divided by aspect:
Divided by role:
Green Software β What can you do as X?
Divided by lifecycle phase:
- Design: 30_Knowledge/Green Architectural Tactics
- Programming / Development: Energy-efficient Programming
- Deployment & Operation: Energy-efficient Deployment and Operation of Software in the Cloud
