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.

Foundational basic Patterns
Establish a case-based mindset
Remove batch-processing and periodic activities from your business process
If capacity is insufficient, consider increasing the available number of resources
Elevate physical constraints by applying new technology
Establish standardized interfaces
Consider a standardized interface with customers and partners
Minimize numerical involvement
Too many cooks spoil the broth
Offer customers the possibility to choose among privacy settings
Experience-based task assignment
Delegate task according to experience: execution frequency, case involvement, interactions
Delegate tasks according to resource cost
