Description
Reducing the environmental impact of research computing requires reliable data on the carbon implications of resource use. To understand the current state of computing resource accounting, we conducted a landscape review of hardware-use accounting across the UK's national Digital Research Infrastructure, focussed on data needed for operational decision-making and sustainability reporting. In this talk, we will present our findings on community requirements, gaps in current accounting practices, and possible solutions for improvement. We invite discussion on how these findings can inform broader efforts to reduce the environmental impact of research computing.
