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 […]
If capacity is insufficient, consider increasing the available number of resources
Minimize numerical involvement
Too many cooks spoil the broth
Consider to deepen or broaden the skills of resources
Consider the division of a general activity into two or more alternative activities
Execute tasks when the grid is powered by renewable energy
Let products appear greener
First-contact problem resolution
Establish a one-contact resolution for customer issues
Assign tasks based on resources' roles in the organisation
Allocate task based on past feedback or quality metrics
