Embedding energy efficiency in computational communities
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The Collaborative Computational Projects (CCPs) are a set of communities funded by CoSeC (https://www.cosec.ac.uk/) that develop and maintain a wide range of scientific software. but without information on energy efficiency, it can be difficult for users and developers to make informed choices about the way they write or use that software. Current understanding is limited, and whilst some communities have started developing guidance on energy efficiency, this is often application specific and time consuming for researchers. Our cross-cutting project aims to generalise existing knowledge of sustainable computing and address common challenges across disciplines by: Surveying the CCPs to identify common software libraries, such as BLAS and LAPACK, and challenges to improving energy efficiency, Benchmarking the performance and carbon intensity of these common software libraries and their alternatives, Using this information to create best practice guidance to allow RSEs to improve the energy efficiency of their software.Acknowledgements Funded by CoSeC (https://www.cosec.ac.uk/)A recording of this session is available on YouTube: https://youtu.be/olvbS_tWQJ0
