Abstract

Building tools that monitor the environmental cost of computational work is only the first challenge. The harder question is: what should they actually show, and to whom, and in what form, to make a genuine difference? This interactive session uses the Green Algorithms Dashboard—a daily monitoring tool for computational resource usage and estimated carbon footprint of HPC systems—as a working example. Participants won't just interrogate what the tool currently does, but what research computing carbon monitoring should do. After a brief introduction of the tool, participants will be grouped and given a scoped, technically grounded problem, working toward a one-page proposal covering the problem, available data, and a path forward. The aim is a community-informed roadmap, openly published after the conference. If you submit jobs to a cluster, write research code, or simply want research computing to have a smaller footprint, this is your chance to shape what comes next.
