Reducing carbon emissions in a core system
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.

Green software is software designed and implemented to have the lowest possible carbon emissions. The Green Software Foundation (GSF) is a cross-industry consortium that is building a trusted ecosystem of people, standards, tooling and best practices for Green Software. A foundational principle of Green Software is known as carbon-aware computing, which involves shifting compute to […]

Foundational basic Patterns
Establish a case-based mindset
Remove batch-processing and periodic activities from your business process
Form cross-department teams for end-to-end case handling.
Design business processes for typical cases and isolate exceptional cases from the normal flow
Elevate physical constraints by applying new technology
Establish standardized interfaces
Consider a standardized interface with customers and partners
Move activities to more appropriate places
Avoid shared responsibilities for tasks by people from different functional units
Offer a green alternative with the same outcome, utilizing different steps, resources, or partners, while retaining the previous existing process
Experience-based task assignment
Delegate task according to experience: execution frequency, case involvement, interactions
