- Paper notes – Energy efficiency across programming languages ()
Which languages are the fastest and most energy efficient? The simple answer is: C, C++, Rust. The accurate answer is: it depends.
- Paper Notes – The overlooked environmental footprint of increasing Internet use ()
The methodology is invalid, which the authors acknowledge but ignore. This means the results of this article aren’t particularly useful.
- Paper Notes – Assessing anthropogenic heat flux of public cloud data centers: current and future trends ()
Data centers are not 100% efficient, so they generate waste heat, which causes anthroprogenic heat flux, and can therefore be linked to global warming. But how much? And should we be concerned?
- Paper notes – What will drive computer performance after Moore’s law? ()
What will drive computer performance after Moore’s law? Will programmers need to focus on performance or can ARM chips and the cloud save us?
