The Impact: <p>To raise awareness, educate, provide guidance, and establish a standard to which the group can follow on green computing best practices</p>
Details
The group raises awareness, educates, and shares information on green computing best practices with its team members, and documents tips that are relevant to the group’s work. This can include reducing re-run analysis when not necessary, how to debug on a small scale and use checkpointing to limit unnecessary runs, and known coding optimisation best practices relevant to the group's activities.
How?
The group should collect key information on green computing that is particularly relevant to its activities. You can leverage already available training material online (e.g. Sustainable computing in science course), or design their own. The ESCS Forum is also a great resource for this.
There should be a process in place to make sure all team members are upskilled in this domain.
📣 Ask your Central Team! If your central team has applied or is applying to Green DiSC as well, you should be able to ask them about the evidence they provided for this criterion and what relevant information is available for you to include in your application.
