What?

This course will cover tools and technologies that allow a user/software-developer to understand their energy usage in terms of energy analysis of the software that is being deployed on the system.

We will give you a complete overview on how to optimize the use of computing systems and application development for the purpose of energy efficiency, rather than keeping a focus on performance or memory usage. You will learn how to do green coding and work with applications in a sustainable way. Some of the main topics will include:

  • Overview of the data center energy footprint
  • Energy usage and energy-aware computing on HPC systems
  • Large-scale application performance and energy analysis
  • Application characterization and optimization for energy efficiency

Who?

  • Everyone interested in learning how to understand energy usage of their software.

Requirements:

  • Basic knowledge of Linux
  • Basic programming experience is recommended

You should have:

Your own laptop with an up-to-date browser and a terminal emulator. The use of the operating systems Linux and macOS is preferred, but not mandatory. For Windows users we recommend to download MobaXterm (portable version) as terminal emulator.
