Carbon Explorer: A Holistic Approach for Designing Carbon Aware Datacenters
Carbon Explorer: A Holistic Approach for Designing Carbon Aware Datacenters
Technology companies have been leading the way to a renewable energy transformation, by investing in renewable energy sources to reduce the carbon footprint of their datacenters. In addition to helping build new solar and wind farms, companies make power purchase agreements or purchase carbon offsets, rather than relying on renewable energy every hour of the day, every day of the week (24/7). Relying on renewable energy 24/7 is challenging due to the intermittent nature of wind and solar energy. Inherent variations in solar and wind energy production causes excess or lack of supply at different times. To cope with the fluctuations of renewable energy generation, multiple solutions must be applied. These include: capacity sizing with a mix of solar and wind power, energy storage options, and carbon aware workload scheduling. However, depending on the region and datacenter workload characteristics, the carbon-optimal solution varies. Existing work in this space does not give a holistic view of the trade-offs of each solution and often ignore the embodied carbon cost of the solutions. In this work, we provide a framework, Carbon Explorer, to analyze the multi-dimensional solution space by taking into account operational and embodided footprint of the solutions to help make datacenters operate on renewable energy 24/7. The solutions we analyze include capacity sizing with a mix of solar and wind power, battery storage, and carbon aware workload scheduling, which entails shifting the workloads from times when there is lack of renewable supply to times with abundant supply.

The WebP 0day
The WebP 0day
Early last week, Google released a new stable update for Chrome. The update included a single security fix that was reported by Apple's Security Engineering and Architecture (SEAR) team. The issue, CVE-2023-4863, was a heap buffer overflow in the WebP image library, and it had a familiar warning attached: "Google

🧪 Can SVG Symbols affect web performance?
When it comes to repeatable SVGs, most people would create a component and reuse it anywhere they want. There's a high chance, that you would be missing some performance freebies. If you're striving for that bang-for-the-buck kind of performance, this article might be interesting for you.

Impacts importés des datacenters : l’angle mort des analyses territoriales des impacts du numérique
Impacts importés des datacenters : l’angle mort des analyses territoriales des impacts du numérique
En août 2020, le Ministère de la Transition écologique et le Ministère de l'Économie, des Finances et de la Relance ont confié à l’ADEME et l’Arcep une mission commune visant à mesurer l’empreinte environnementale du numérique en France et à identifier des leviers d’actions et des bonnes pratiques pour la réduire. Les deux organisations ont remis en janvier 2022 les deux premiers volets consacrés à la mesure de l’ensemble de cette empreinte en 2020. Nous tentons d'apporter un complément à cette étude sur le volet des datacenters.

The Non-human Persona Guide
The Non-human Persona Guide
The Non-Human Persona Guide is a synthesis of learnings from various designers from around the world on how to identify, create, and use non-human/non-user personas to represent their needs during design and at decision making.

Web Apps Are Better Than No Apps
Web Apps Are Better Than No Apps
There’s a certain community in tech that’s very vocal about their preference toward native apps. I share that sentiment, yet sometimes people take this idea too religiously. Unfortunately, the actual choice is about having an app or not, and I'd rather take something over nothing.

Inclusive design and accessibility - Unity Learn
It can be very tempting to work on planning and creating your game straight away. That drive to bring an idea to life is a core part of being a creator, whatever your medium. However, if you take time now to explore the underlying principles of inclusive design and accessibility, you’ll give yourself a strong foundation as you work on your game. The principles are also deeply practical. Your work starts now!
