Gave an updated talk at #HEPiX on carbon lifecycle analysis for scientific computing exploring how long you should run compute nodes when optimizing for minimizing carbon emissions.
We use real numbers from four data centers, and a couple of hypothetical cases, to explore how the local electricity generation emissions impact how sensible it is to run old hardware until it breaks.
Also tagging my co-author @wim_v12e who has done most of the model design.

@ddlyh Oh, and adding to this, this was a 20 minute talk, so there wasn't all that much that isn't covered by text in the slides. In this community we consider the published slides to also work as notes for the audience and the institutional record of what was presented. @wim_v12e

No, no recording of this, but I'm happy to answer any questions.
We'll work on making a better simulation tool (the spreadsheet model is getting rather messy, and is full of sharp corners) as well as writing this up in a paper.

@maswan @wim_v12e I don't suppose there's a recording of the talk anywhere to give more context to the slides?
(Also, typo found: "Compute node assupmtions")
