In this project seminar, we will discuss the environmental impact of data processing and computing in general. We will review current research in the area of evaluating efficiency and improving sustainability of data processing deployments. We will survey hardware and data center trends and work on a research project, in which you will analyse or evaluate factors of sustainability and efficiency of data processing in current deployments.
