My paper with @maswan
"Life Cycle Analysis for Emissions of Scientific Computing Centres"
has been accepted fro publication in European Physical Journal C !
We develop a detailed model for the LCA of (HPC) data centres, including embodied carbon, server replacement and expansion. It is also applicable to other data centres. We also share the source code.
It shows how important embodied carbon becomes when the grid has more renewables.
Life Cycle Analysis for Emissions of Scientific Computing Centres
We propose a dedicated model to assist with the life cycle analysis of emissions of scientific computing centres.arXiv.org
