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
Combine small activities into composite activities
Establish standardized interfaces
Consider a standardized interface with customers and partners
Delegate and optimize your operations
Avoid shared responsibilities for tasks by people from different functional units
Start implementing actions that can offset or counterbalance the environmental effects generated by business processes that cannot be changed.
Offer a green alternative with the same outcome, utilizing different steps, resources, or partners, while retaining the previous existing process
Preference-based task assignment
Let people do what they love to do
Distribute tasks by interdepartmental interactions to enable or restrict involvement
