Green Computing: towards greener digital services
- Catalin Condurache (EGI.eu)
- Gergely Sipos (EGI.eu)
Description
ICT sectors contribute 1.8%–2.8% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Green computing initiatives aim to reduce this impact.
EGI in partnership with the SLICES, SoBigData and EBRAINS digital research infrastructures are at the forefront of this movement through the GreenDIGIT EC Project. This session explores how GreenDIGIT is working to:
- Minimise the environmental impact of digital infrastructures
- Reduce greenhouse gas emissions from research computing
We will delve into the GreenDIGIT work plan and its initial results, including a landscape analysis across EGI, other research and e-infrastructures, and partner research institutions.
Join us for a panel discussion where experts will explore how these findings can shape the future of GreenDIGIT, EGI and ESFRI research infrastructure's green computing initiatives.
In order to keep Research Infrastructures (RIs) at the highest level of excellence in science, new technologies and solutions must be developed to steer toward a reduced environmental footprint, as it is the case for all domains of our societies. Lowering the environmental impact of digital services and technologies has to become a priority for both the operation of existing digital services...
