What is cop in green software

By • What is green software? Green software, also known as sustainable software, is software that is designed, developed and implemented to limit energy consumption and have minimal environmental impact. Green software engineering takes into consideration software practices and architecture, hardware and data center design, electricity markets and climate change. In addition, green software engineering aims to generate fewer Principles of green software The principles of green software are a set of concepts that software engineers should follow when they're designing, building and deploying sustainable software applications. There are eight principles of green software development: • Carbon. Developers should build software that offers value to users, while producing fewer carbon emissions. • Electricity. Energy-efficient applications use software components that don't consume much energy. • Carbon intensity. Intensity refers to the amount of carbon emissions that is generated for every kilowatt per hour of electricity that's used. Companies should consume as much as electricity as possible from renewable energy sources, which have lower carbon intensity. • Embodied, or embedded, carbon. Embodied carbon is how much carbon is released when companies develop and dispose of electronic devices. This principle calls for organizations to build software that reduces the amount of carbon that's released when they develop and dispose of electronic devices. • Energy proportionality....

To help realize the possibility of carbon-free applications, Microsoft, the consultancies Accenture and ThoughtWorks, the Linux Foundation, and Microsoft-owned code-sharing site, GitHub, have launched SEE: IT Data Center Green Energy Policy (TechRepublic Premium) Announced at Microsoft's Build 2021 developer conference, the foundation is trying to promote the idea of green software engineering – a new field that looks to make code more efficient and reduce carbon emitted from the hardware it's running on. A case in point is Python, a hugely popular programming language for machine learning and AI. It's one example of how code can impact the environment at a time when the world looks incapable of meeting carbon reductions outlined in the Paris Climate Agreement – which US President Joe Biden has signed the US up to again. "We envision a future where carbon-free software is standard – where software development, deployment, and use contribute to the global climate solution without every developer having to be an expert," Erica Brescia, COO of GitHub said in a statement. SEE: The global chip shortage is a much bigger problem than everyone realised. And it will go on for longer, too Microsoft president Brad Smith said "the world confronts an urgent carbon problem." "It will take all of us working together to create innovative solutions to drastically reduce emissions. Microsoft is joining with organizations who are serious about an environmentally sustainable future to d...
