Multicloud

  • Cloud Carbon Footprint An open-source cloud energy and carbon emissions measurement tool.
  • Green Metrics Tool A free open-source (FOSS) tool to measure the energy / CO2 consumption of your software architecture.
  • kube-green A simple open-source k8s addon that automatically shuts down (some of) your resources when you don't need them.
  • Carbonifer Command Line Tool to control carbon emission of your cloud infrastructure.
  • Gaia Gen A SaaS solution for monitoring and reporting cloud emissions (there is a cost associated with this solution).

Code based

  • codecarbon.io Python : Track and reduce CO2 emissions from your computing
  • CAST Highlight Automatically analyze application source code to identify green deficiencies and improve green impact.
  • JoularJX Java: Software power monitoring at the source code level in real-time.
  • Kernel Tuner an auto-tuner capable of optimizing GPU code for energy efficiency.
  • oaklean.io Visualize and optimize the energy consumption of your JavaScript/TypeScript applications. Using a VSCode extension and integration with test frameworks, the system identifies energy-intensive code sections and suggests eco-friendly alternatives.
  • Tracarbon Tracarbon tracks your device's energy consumption and calculates your carbon emissions using your location
  • ecoCode A SonarQube plugin for PHP, Python, Java, and JavaScript, providing static code analyzers to highlight code structures that may have a negative ecological impact.
  • energy-consumption-measuring-toolkit Energy Consumption Measuring Toolkit for Python Applications

General purpose

Emissions

  • Carbon AppInsights An Azure Functions-based solution for logging emissions data for Azure regions from Electricity Maps to Azure Monitor for alerting triggers and automated actions.
  • Carbon Aware SDK A Web API and command line for obtaining unified forecast and historical power grid emissions data based on location and time, to help build Carbon Aware software.
  • Carbon Aware Computing Hangfire Extension A Hangfire extension to schedule tasks with carbon awareness in mind. The best point in time is calculated based on emission forecasts to get a window with a minimal grid carbon intensity.
  • Carbon Aware Computing - Tools & Free forecast data The goal of this project is to provide developers with hassle-free, easy-to-use, ready-to-run tools for carbon-aware computing. The software contains a NuGet-Package, Powershell-Commandlets, and a live instance of the SDK. An open data carbon forecast for Europe is available as in the JSON-Carbon SDK-compatible format.
  • PSElectricityMaps A PowerShell Module for retrieving current carbon emissions data for power grids with a free account on ElectricityMaps / CO2signal.
  • PSWattTime A PowerShell Module for retrieving current carbon emissions data for power grids with a free account on WattTime.org.

Energy

  • CO2Scope Solution to monitor in real-time the CO2 emissions of IT services, virtual machines, and servers
  • Eco-CI Continuous Integration Energy Estimation A plugin for GitHub Actions / GitLab that measures your CI runs and estimates their energy use.
  • Kepler (Kubernetes-based Efficient Power Level Exporter) uses eBPF to probe energy-related system stats and exports as Prometheus metrics
  • Hardware Sentry Standard OpenTelemetry agent that exposes the energy usage and temperatures of servers, network, and storage systems in data centers
  • PowerJoular Monitor, in real-time, the power consumption of software and hardware components.
  • scaphandre Power measurement (bare metal hosts, prometheus, within a docker container, etc)
  • ML.ENERGY Leaderboard: How much energy do LLMs consume?
  • Zeus: Deep Learning Energy Measurement and Optimization
  • Vessim is a co-simulation testbed for carbon-aware applications and systems that connects domain-specific simulators for renewable power generation and energy storage with real software and hardware. It's been published at HotCarbon'24. Git Publsihed in 2024

Extensions

  • GreenIT-Analysis The extension allows you to use your Dev Tools to measure the ecoIndex of a website and verify the application of web eco-design best practices defined by the "Collectif numérique responsible".
