An overview of the key power and performance features, how to enable them, and touch on collecting traces and running benchmarks to see what’s impacted by these features. The goal of this article is to help you find the right sets of power configurations to be able to meet the demands of your workload while being energy efficient.
History and Background Marine vessel traffic is having a negative anthropogenic impact on marine environments and marine mammals, such as killer whales and other cetaceans, which experience growing pressures by the increasing and constantly changing diverse anthropogenic ocean use and activities performed in coastal areas. The underwater s...
This post will outline some tips and tricks on how to get a sustainability community started in your organization, no matter if it is a company, non-profit organization or an interest group on some technical subject. The focus is on awareness and skill building and how to put it into action.
What is performance testing ? Performance engineering is a software engineering discipline that deals with the techniques, processes, and metrics to make our applications more performant. It is a technique by which we tune the code that we write by measuring against the nonfunctional requirements, such as performance under a certain amount o...
This presentation and transcript were recorded for the USENIX SRECon Americas 2020 conference in December 2020. SRECon is a yearly conference focusing on the discipline of Site Reliability Engineering and acts as a gathering point for engineers who care deeply about site reliability, systems engineering, and working with complex distributed sys...
The second principle of Sustainable Software Engineering is to build energy efficient applications. The very first step in that direction is to measure the energy cost of your application. In this post we will look at two different Azure virtual machines, run software on them and calculate the CO2eq emissions of the software.
At the end of 2020, in the midst of the COVID crisis, Emmanuel Macron, French President, called for a Yuka-like application to be made available to everyone to measure all product's carbon footprint. Un « score carbone » pour évaluer l’impact environnemental des produits ? J’y suis favorable. Nous pouvons créer ensemble le @YukaApp du carbon...
In the previous part of the serverless architecture post for the Contoso Claim processing application, we built two components. In this iteration, we will make the architecture more sustainable by using Edge computing. Edge computing is a paradigm that brings the compute, storage, and intelligence right down to the edge d...
How a runtime open source project like Dapr can help make applications more sustainable, and call to action for developers to contribute with their work to a sustainable microservice that can measure and optimize the carbon impact of a Dapr application.
On the Sustainable Software blog, there have been a lot of great articles around reducing the environmental impact of software. This article covers a software platform built for helping sustainability. Discover how a team of Open-Source contributors helps an NGO
