The environmental impact of software by Christian Abegg
48
+
At first glance, the IT industry seems to be a relatively clean sector. However, the development and operation of software have a significant environmental impact that is often overlooked. In this talk, we will explore the energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions associated along the software lifecycle, and discuss ways to reduce it with measures ranging from coding over datacenter operation to the way individuals are working. By the end of the presentation, attendees will have an overview of the key factors, as well as actionable suggestions for addressing them.

Carbon Measurement And Attribution For Processes And Hardware Devices In The Linux Kernel by Aditya Manglik
54
+
This talk details the development of carbon and energy measurement infrastructure in the Linux kernel. The objective is to determine the energy consumption and link it to carbon emissions of hardware devices and software applications (processes). This infrastructure allows the programmers and users to see which hardware devices and processes are responsible for the system’s energy consumption and carbon emissions. These statistics are extremely useful for both user-level applications and kernel developers.
