Don’t follow the sun: Scheduling compute workloads to chase green energy can be counter-productive

Adrian Cockcroft

Sunset in Morocco — photo taken by Adrian We want to reduce carbon emissions of our compute and storage workloads, and one way of doing this is to choose a time and place where the “grid mix” of energy consumed is less carbon intensive. The computers you stopped using aren’t following the sun.

Observability engineering: Getting Prometheus metrics right for Kubernetes with Dynatrace and Kepler

Dynatrace

But often, we use additional services and solutions within our environment for backups, storage, networking, and more. Kubernetes-based efficient power level exporter (Kepler) is a Prometheus exporter that uses ML models to estimate the energy consumption of Kubernetes pods. Labels we don’t need.

Boosted race trees for low energy classification

The Morning Paper

Boosted race trees for low energy classification Tzimpragos et al., We don’t talk about energy as often as we probably should on this blog, but it’s certainly true that our data centres and various IT systems consume an awful lot of it. So decision trees are essentially networks of threshold functions. ASPLOS’19.

Thinking About Power Usage and Websites

CSS - Tricks

Gerry McGovern asked if I had any insight into energy consumption and websites. He was wondering about the specifics of web tech, like… If you do this in HTML it will consume 3× energy but if you do it in JavaScript it will consume 10 ×. Things that lead to poor performance are things that take energy. Imagine images.
