2、 footprint as a common metric to assess a set of computing equipment allows straightforward comparison of technologies and designs on a“performance per carbon”basis,bringing together operational(energy use inputs)and scope 3(production&materials inputs)carbon,along with workload-aligned performance
3、metrics to compare technologies and systems.Our proposed methodology to apply“carbon points”to hardware components and systems can allow system-level,rack-level,and data-center-level quantification of detailed carbon footprints,which can then be optimized and reduced.You cannot improve what you cann
4、ot measure,and we believe that carbon footprint can be used today as a successful common metric for comparison,decision-making,and optimization.We will outline our database of footprint calculations and comparisons with real data center systems,and we will review our success in bringing carbon-advan
