Greener software
Sustainable software development, or GreenCoding, can help your organisation it seeks to shrink its environmental footprint. Scaled up to servers and consumer devices worldwide, every line of code has the potential to reduce energy consumption and emissions. How efficient is your code?
Greener architecture
GreenCoding starts with three overarching principles: shutting down software when it's not being used, avoiding processing that’s carried out in real-time by default and focusing on he overall lifecycle of software: its creation, use, maintenance and disposal.
Greener logic
Even though a single optimisation may have a negligible impact on its own, it can make a difference when combined with many others. GreenCoding involves optimising visual content, and using zero-waste code and low-footprint resources.
Greener methodology and platform
Rapid feedback cycles and reusable ouput are the keys to greener methodology. And to optimise energy efficiency, the infrastructure that code runs on is as important as the code itself. Learn how utilisation, configuration and metrics all play a crucial role.
Get an inside
With GreenCoding, software development becomes part of your sustainability programme, reducing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions throughout your organisation and your supply chain.
