Sustainable computing in science
Abstract
In this course, we will introduce the different ways in which computing infrastructure and activities impact the environment, and in particular, how this relates to scientific research. We will look at how to quantify these impacts and explore the tools available to help us do so. Finally, we will discuss how we can, as researchers or computer users, reduce the footprint of our work, along with the challenges we might face.
