GreenDIGIT EGI side event

Tuesday Jun 3, 2025, 9:00 AM → 10:00 PM Europe/Amsterdam

Salon de Baile (Santander)

Yuri Demchenko (University of Amsterdam)

This event is organized by the GreenDIGIT project that is run by 4 Digital Infrastructures (EGI, SoBigData, SLICES, EBRAINS) to address vital needs of the ESFRI Research Infrastructures and other digital service providers for science in lowering energy consumption and environmental impact. 

This meeting is co-located with the EGI2025 conference. The meeting agenda is provisional, the final agenda is to be defined closer to the event.

Please register to the AHM with the below button. This registration is ONLY for the 1-day GreenDIGIT AHM, and it is free of charge for the GreenDIGIT members.

GreenDIGIT AHM participants can use a discount code to access the EGI2025 Conference with a reduced price (Discount Code is to be sent to the project email list). The EGI2025 event requires a separate registration on the EGI2025 webpage.

The EGI2025 programme is foreseen to include one public session on the 4th of June about 'Green Computing'. The content of this session is under setup by the EGI2025 PC and by the GreenDIGIT project.

Abstract: Web-based scientific workflows are increasingly executed within Jupyter Notebook based Virtual Research Environments (VREs), orchestrated by backend Research Infrastructures (RIs). Accurately assessing their resource footprint, including system utilization, energy consumption, and carbon emissions, is crucial for enabling sustainability aware monitoring and evaluation services. To address this need, the GreenDIGIT project has developed a custom Jupyter plugin featuring an intuitive dashboard that enables researchers and developers to track key sustainability metrics associated with individual VRE workflows on RIs. Additionally, it generates structured research objects documenting experiment details, storing them in a centralized database to enhance reproducibility. In this tutorial, I will provide a comprehensive overview of the tool’s architecture, implementation, and functionality, followed by a demonstration of a scientific workflow application leveraging its capabilities.

Speaker: Dr Shashikant Illager (University of Amsterdam)
