Measuring the resource consumption of software is quite a complex topic. When we started working on the Green Metrics Tool we couldn’t imagine the ride this would take us on. From studying the Linux Kernel to building out own cluster. [...]

Please find the english version below Wir freuen uns, dass unser Green Metrics Tool nun mit dem renommierten Blauer Engel für Ressourcen- und Energieeffiziente Softwareprodukte ausgezeichnet wurde. Diese Zertifizierung unterstreicht unser Engagement für Nachhaltigkeit und Innovation in der Softwareentwicklung. [...]

A friend recently sent me a news headline in which a company is promoting that they will use their servers 15 years. While this initially sounds like a great idea, once you think about it, for a little while, you realize modern servers are far more energy efficient than old ones. [...]

Artificial Intelligence is on the rise and it is using huge amounts of resources. [1] [2] [3] People are still debating on how much, but it is clear that it is quite a lot. [...]

Wir sind von der dena (Deutsche Energie Agentur) beauftragt worden, eine hoffentlich bahnbrechende Studie zum Thema Green Coding als Standard in der Softwareentwicklung für eine stromsparende Gestaltung der Digitalisierung zu erstellen. [...]

Something we often encounter when talking to clients is that they often have no idea of how much energy the various components in their pipeline use. We have developed multiple projects like Eco-CI that measures the energy usage of CI/CD pipelines or Power Hog which logs energy consumption on desktops. [...]

In the age of digital revolution, our reliance on technology is ever-increasing, but so is our carbon footprint. Amidst this tech boom, a pressing question arises: how can we leverage technology to combat, rather than contribute to, climate change? [...]

CPU utilization is an interesting value to use if you ware interested in either energy usage or optimizing your code. We have written a long case study on if it is useful in the first place. [...]

While reading this great article https://evanhahn.com/worlds-smallest-png/ about the smallest png image possible I started thinking about how old the png standard is and how many more newer formats are out there. [...]

Standard benchmarks play a pivotal role in the field of software engineering, serving as a foundational element for ensuring quality and efficiency. The Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC) benchmarks, in particular, have established a high standard across the database sector. [...]
