Greenplum Database is an open-source , hardware-agnostic MPP database for analytics, based on PostgreSQL and developed by Pivotal who was later acquired by VMware. Greenplum’s high performance eliminates the challenge most RDBMS have scaling to petabtye levels of data, as they are able to scale linearly to efficiently process data.

Let’s start by assuming that you have figured out a way to estimate the energy consumption and carbon footprint for a workload that is sensitive enough to register changes in the way you run the workload. The first thing to understand is that doing things consumes time and energy and has a carbon footprint of its own.

An example of a specification is the correct operation of the hardware of a microprocessor. A well-understood root cause of faults that occur in a processor is a high-energy particle, such a neutron or alpha particle. Resiliency and reliability must be achieved, but not at the expense of high performance and energy-efficiency.
