Saravanan talks to us about making greener tech.

Everyone else is burning fuel for ai like mad but Saravan wants to make things greener instead.

3% or so of greenhouse emissions are from IT. More than flying.

Cloud providers claim to be carbon neutral but this is changing with ai centers and often software written for them aren't used most of the time.

Green Software Foundation thinks software can be greener and offers courses and a profiler to tell you the carbon footprint of your code.

We can write for carbon efficiency. Electricity and hardware manufacturing included.

Power usage effectiveness can be calculated. How much is wasted on cooling vs compute, say.

Do your compute when solar is in excess instead of during times the power network is burning oil. Or do it in countries with greener grids.

Support older user hardware. Extend the life of end user devices.

Can't help feeling like these efforts are going to be drowned out by everyone else here burning tokens like there's no tomorrow. Which maybe will ensure there is indeed no tomorrow.

InfoQ Mar 6

The tech sector now generates 6% of global emissions - more than the entire airline industry - and #AI could triple that by 2030! 📉

#GreenIT is no longer a side topic; it’s a #SoftwareArchitecture problem.

In this #InfoQ video, Ludi Akue shares 7 lessons for building truly Sustainable Systems - from the hidden carbon costs of “cheap” cloud regions to how microservices can sometimes do more harm.
