Is Efficiency the End of Story for Green Software?
"Which programming language is the fastest" usually is everyone's first thought when green software is mentioned! It's a common deduction that the fastest code is, therefore, the most efficient, which then, of course, can save us from this climate disaster. However, code efficiency is not even half of the story! In this talk, Sarah will review the three approaches that make software green. She will also introduce efficiency-achieving practices that can take us closer to fighting this pesky climate change.
Target Audience: Architects, Developers, SRE/DevOps
Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of any Programming Language, Introductory Familiarity with DevOps Space
Level: Basic
Extended Abstract:
In this talk, I will go over the following:
- My journey so far with green software emphasizes how I don't need to leave my climate enthusiasm at home every day when I go to work
- Brief facts about WHY we need to take action now in the tech industry
- 3 approaches that make software green
- Why code efficiency is not the answer to most green software problems with an example
- Going over why DevOps practices are much more effective in achieving greenness in software with a couple of examples
- Wrapping up with fruit for thoughts, especially highlighting the close connection between DevOps practices and Green Software practices
- Encourage the audience to look at their software engineering problems through a green software lense
Sarah Hsu is a strong advocate for green sustainable software. She regularly speaks and writes on the subject. She is co-authoring an O'Reilly book on the same topic titled "Building Green Software". She is the Green Software Course project chair for the Green Software Foundation. The group and the Linux Foundation recently launched a free online educational course, Green Software for Practitioners (LFC131), to help software practitioners build, run and maintain greener applications. She is currently a Site Reliability Engineer working on a distributed platform in Google Cloud at Goldman Sachs.
