Description
The ATLAS Collaboration operates a large, distributed computing infrastructure: almost 1M cores of computing and almost 1 EB of data are distributed over about 100 computing sites worldwide. These resources contribute significantly to the total carbon footprint of the experiment, and they are expected to grow by a large factor as a part of the experimental upgrades for the HL-LHC at the end of the decade. This contribution describes the efforts underway to understand and monitor the true carbon footprint of computing (beyond only its power consumption), identify opportunities for savings, and establish recommendations for the sites to reduce their carbon footprint.
