Measuring Carbon is Not Enough?—?Unintended Consequences

Adrian Cockcroft

NOVEMBER 13, 2023

Let’s start by assuming that you have figured out a way to estimate the energy consumption and carbon footprint for a workload that is sensitive enough to register changes in the way you run the workload. The first thing to understand is that doing things consumes time and energy and has a carbon footprint of its own.
