Data centers have a large and growing contribution to global energy consumption. Factors like manufacturing, construction, disassembly, green energy emissions are frequently neglected in current estimates. The total climate footprint can vary dramatically, based on energy sources, hardware, application, utilization, life-cycle management. B6 aims at a holistic management of end-to-end energy profiles and climate footprints of ML-based data analysis workflows (DAW), as well as system-internal configuration and tuning knobs.
