Do you practice carbon-aware computing, in production ? How about an interview ? 馃 馃寧
We are making a study about #carbonaware computing, for ADEME, and might need you for some grounded insights !
This study is an analysis of carbon-aware computing, considered as an eco-design potential lever, with a consequential approach.
Yes, I do.
I made a movie about Climate Refugees at Carteret Islands and they do neither have power nor internet, and so I own this to Rose, a woman on the Atoll.
Let us talk about simple patterns which any fediverse developer can simply do.
For example;
We can compress an ActivityPub to 20% of its size by a combination of (multilanguage) semantic and data compressing to a small Uint8 Byte Array.
Or we can use the power of Linked Data and just federate "wd:Q1055" -
this is just 8 bytes but it brings you all the common knowledge and media of Hamburg https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1055
and together with caching this will do much already.
PS
English Gov asks urgently to delete old eMails due to drought.
The study refers to carbon aware computing in the sense of decision making based on an electricity grid carbon intensity data : workload shifting in time or space, workload shaping.
This is voluntarily limited to these kind of optimizations, as they present pretty specific mecainsms and effects to be amalyzed behind the scenes.
