UBM and Microsoft shift computational tasks in CO2-reduced times

This whitepaper discusses the first enterprise-scale implementation of carbon-aware computing, a collaboration between UBS and Microsoft under the Green Software Foundation (GSF) umbrella. Using the GSF Software Carbon Intensity (SCI) specification and carbon-aware-sdk tooling, the partners implemented a time-shifting strategy for UBS's risk platform, running workloads during periods of lower carbon intensity in the grid. This approach is projected to prevent multiple metric tons of CO2eq from entering the atmosphere annually.
