We had a fantastic away day as the Carbon-Conscious Computing lab (lauritzthamsen.org/lab/) of the University of Glasgow last week! 💻 ☁️ 🌱 In keeping with our mission, we took our bikes out for a ride around the Isle of Bute! 🚉 ⛴️ 🌊

4: Kathleen will be presenting a short paper on Carbon-Aware Workflow Execution, arxiv.org/abs/2503.13705. This will be Kathleen's first talk at a conference and we are actively working on extending our results in the EPSRC-funded project Casper, so you are most welcome to provide helpful feedback!

Let me also highlight the academic #keynote on "AI's Energy Challenge: Can Data Center-Power Grid Coordination Offer a Path to Sustainability?" by Boston University's Ayse Coskun: youtu.be/ClBSFDaqDrM

... and the #keynote #discussion we had with Strategically Green's fantastic @annecurrie.bsky.social: youtu.be/_nLrbIAng8o

Following the 1st International Workshop on Low Carbon Computing (LOCO), we are now calling for bids to organize the 2nd LOCO workshop! 💻 🔬 🌱 Bids due: 13 May (AoE) Notifications by: 4 June Full call details: sicsa.ac.uk/loco/loco202... #lowcarbon #sustainable #green #computing #research

PROPL, the workshop that inspired us to organize LOCO, is back! This time it'll take place with both ICFP and SPLASH. Have a look at the website if programming/computing as a force for good is something you care about! 💻🌍🌱📄👇

It’s been two weeks since we held the 1st International Workshop on Low-Carbon Computing (LOCO), and I'm still buzzing. It was so good to see this community come together, hear about all the interesting ideas and early results, and witness how many care deeply about computer system sustainability! 🧵

Just a few days now till #LOCO2024 – the 1st International Workshop on Low Carbon Computing! 💻 🔬 🌱 The final programme for the whole of Tuesday 3 December is now available on our workshop website, www.sicsa.ac.uk/loco/loco202...

Only three more days to apply to join us as a (PD)RA on the EPSRC-funded #Casper project. Together with our partners at HU Berlin, AWS, and the BBC, we will be researching how the execution of scalable batch processing applications can be aligned with the availability of low-carbon energy! ☁️💻🌱
