Green Software for Practitioners (LFC131) 📄

Learn the basic concepts a software practitioner needs to know to build, maintain and run greener applications

How to register

You can register from The Linux Foundation using this Green Software for Practitioners (LFC131)

Learning objectives

By the end of this course, you should be able to:

  • Understand and learn green principles.
  • Understand and use our shared language and standardized terms.
  • Apply green software principles to the design and development of your software applications

Course content

  1. Introduction - This chapter introduces some key concepts and also explains what green software is and how to be a green software practitioner
  2. Carbon Efficiency - This chapter explains the first principle of green software: carbon efficiency, emitting the least amount of carbon possible per unit of work
  3. Energy Efficiency - This chapter explains the second principle of green software: energy efficiency, using the least amount of energy possible
  4. Carbon Awareness -This chapter explains the third principle of green software: carbon awareness, doing more when the electricity is cleaner and less when the electricity is dirtier
  5. Hardware Efficiency -This chapter explains the fourth principle of green software: carbon awareness, using the least amount of embodied carbon possible
  6. Measurements - This chapter explains the importance of measurement – what you can't measure, you can't improve
  7. Climate Commitments -This chapter will help you understand the exact mechanism of carbon reduction

SCI Equation

SCI = (E *I) + M) per R

E = Energy consumed by a software system I = Location-based marginal carbon emissions M = Embodied emissions of a software system R = Functional unit (e.g. carbon per additional user, API-call, ML job, etc)

This summarizes to:

SCI = C per R (Carbon per R)

R is the core characteristic of the SCI and turns it into an intensity rather than a total. This is what we call a functional unit.
