Alles ansehen- Green Coding Meetup - Blauer Engel für Software / Carbon Aware Computingadesso SE, Berlin
The Green Coding Meetup is finally back! (DE/EN)
And we have great speakers, a great location, great food ... basically everything is great about the Meetup. :)
The Bundesverband Green Software has teamed up with the Green Coding Meetup and many great partners (see below).
Talks will be in English preferred but might switch to German if we have no English speaking folks present.
For first-timers: Typically we have 50/50 DE/EN folks present, so for chit-chat after you will always find some language
that you are comfortable with.Agenda:
- 18:30 Doors open
- 18:45 Talk #1: Blauer Engel für Software (DE/EN)
- 19:15 Small break
- 19:25 Talk #2 - Carbon Aware Computing (DE/EN)
- 20:00 - Enjoying ourselves with lovely Green Coding chit chat----
Carbon Aware Computing - For sustainable applications
Modern software development must become climate-friendly and resource-saving. However, we don't have to reinvent the wheel, as Green Software Development design patterns already exist. After the “usual suspects” such as maximizing server utilization, minimizing memory and processor utilization and dynamic scaling, a paradigm shift is needed.
Similar to the energy transition, the use of resources must be aligned with the supply of resources. This is the principle of carbon aware computing.One option is to shift plannable loads (tasks, jobs, batch processes) to times with a high proportion of renewable energy in the power grid (time-shifting).
A different strategy is required for on-demand loads and scaling. Here, the application must adapt the supply and its functionality to the available resources. This process is called demand shaping.
This talk will show how these patterns can be implemented in the cloud with Azure and in Kubernetes and what options an application has to “shed” the load. All aspects will be addressed: How does scaling work, how can you limit it dynamically based on the CO2 intensity of the power grid and where do you get the prediction data from. And the whole thing with lots of live demos.---
Blauer Engel für Software
The Blauer Engel für Software is the official eco label from the German Umweltbundesamt.It certifies software products that are more energy and resource effcient.
What does that mean exactly, how can you make your software more sustainable and how can you get the label?This talk will go through practical approaches to measuring software sustainability via tooling and in order
to achieve the requirements for the Blauer Engel and go beyond.
It compares SCI and Blue Angel for Software, explores alternative methods (e.g., ISO 14001, web metrics), and introduces the Green Metrics Tool.Real-world examples, including work with Nextcloud, illustrate the data, time, and setup needed for certification.
Website measurement and the large differences in their energy use are also discussed.----

impact. We do tooling, we run the ecoCompute conference, we do the biggest green software Meetup in Berlin.Bundesverband Green Software
The ICT sector is currently responsible for around 4% of global CO2 emissions. As actors of digitalization, we have the responsibility and the opportunity to use our knowledge and position to stop this trend and minimize software emissions.
The Bundesverband Green Software e.V. pursues the mission of accelerating the application of standards, tools, and best practices for Green Software in Germany.Three principles are essential for us to fulfill the mission:
- Energy Efficiency ➡️ Use as little electricity as possible
- Hardware Efficiency ➡️ Minimize the amount of embodied carbon
- Carbon Awareness ➡️ Do more when the electricity is renewable and less when it is fossil-based.
We bring these topics to companies that count software and IT as their core business. We offer information services and connect participants in the software development process with each other.
