Sustainable AI Training via Hardware-Software Co-Design on NVIDIA, AMD, and Emerging GPU Architectures
In particular, large-scale deep learning and artificial intelligence model training uses a lot of computational power and energy, so it poses serious sustainability issues. The fast rise in model complexity has resulted in exponential increases in energy consumption, increasing the demand for techniques maximizing computational efficiency and lowering environmental impact. This work explores environmentally driven performance optimization methods especially intended for advanced GPU architectur…

Assessing the Impact of Refactoring Energy-Inefficient Code Patterns on Software Sustainability: An Industry Case Study
Advances in technologies like artificial intelligence and metaverse have led to a proliferation of software systems in business and everyday life. With this widespread penetration, the carbon emissions of software are rapidly growing as well, thereby negatively impacting the long-term sustainability of our environment. Hence, optimizing software from a sustainability standpoint becomes more crucial than ever. We believe that the adoption of automated tools that can identify energy-inefficient p…

Sustainability Flags for the Identification of Sustainability Posts in Q&A Platforms
In recent years, sustainability in software systems has gained significant attention, especially with the rise of cloud computing and the shift towards cloud-based architectures. This shift has intensified the need to identify sustainability in architectural discussions to take informed architectural decisions. One source to see these decisions is in online Q&A forums among practitioners' discussions. However, recognizing sustainability concepts within software practitioners' discussions remain…

Calculating Software's Energy Use and Carbon Emissions: A Survey of the State of Art, Challenges, and the Way Ahead
The proliferation of software and AI comes with a hidden risk: its growing energy and carbon footprint. As concerns regarding environmental sustainability come to the forefront, understanding and optimizing how software impacts the environment becomes paramount. In this paper, we present a state-of-the-art review of methods and tools that enable the measurement of software and AI-related energy and/or carbon emissions. We introduce a taxonomy to categorize the existing work as Monitoring, Estim…
