A fascinating 2021 study examined the energy, time, and memory efficiency of various popular programming languages. My personal favorite, C, emerged as the fastest and most energy-efficient overall, while Pascal led in terms of memory usage. Unsurprisingly, compiled languages were generally "greener," outperforming interpreted languages.

With the focus on generative AI's energy consumption, I'd love to see a deeper conversation around the environmental impact of all software. This attention might lead to more sustainable choices across the industry and in the academic world, as they train new developers.

Very happy to share that Kristina Devochko and myself will be speaking at NDC Community Tuesday in Oslo next month about best practices for #sustainability of #Kubernetes clusters! Details and rsvp in the link below (#GreenIT #GreenSoftware) https://www.meetup.com/gsf-oslo/events/300942997/

KEcoLab in Season of KDE 2024: Energy-Consumption Measurements In The CI/CD Pipeline

#KEcoLab is a tool enabling remote access to KDE's measurement lab in Berlin.

Season of #KDE contributor Aakarsh MJ (@aakarshmj) has worked on integration of KEcoLab into #Okular's pipeline. Thanks to his work, #energy reports can now be created with every new release!

More good news on the day of KDE Plasma 6 megarelease!

#KDEEco is proud to be one of 12 groups of researchers and practitioners (including @a_guldner , @HTW_Berlin , @vuamsterdam , @oekoinstitut) co-authoring a paper published *today* in Future Generation Computer Systems.

The paper describes the main components of software #energy and hardware usage measurements.

Can #journalists help here?

#Google ignores my request for information about #GeminiAI's #sustainability performance.

I wonder if there are journalists or researchers who might want to ask google about this?

Or other ideas anyone?

Please forward / boost if you have such followers.

Wird der #AIAct, wenn er denn kommt, dafür sorgen, dass künstliche Intelligenz in der #EU klimagerechter wird?

Ich habe die Entwürfen der Kommission (04/21) und des EU-Parlaments (05/23) nach #SustainableAI überflogen & eine kurze These zu der -Diskussion um Potenziale getippt:

#FreeSoftware developer? Looking to measure the #energy consumption of your software in a dedicated lab? Can't make the trip to #Berlin to do so?

Karanjot Singh is working to change that!

This summer remote access to the #KDAB measurement lab will become a reality. Read more at the #KDEEco blog:

"Software-related CO2 emissions account for 4-5% of global emissions. This is equivalent to the emissions of all aviation, shipping, and rail combined."

Ein Vortrag von Mark „Dr. Made“ Benecke hat mich neulich zu einem Text über #Müllfluencing auf YouTube, Instagram & Co. inspiriert (im Text verlinkt), der im Blog von @campact veröffentlicht wurde.
