Host Chris Adams is joined by executive director of the Green Software
Foundation, Asim Hussain as they dive into another mailbag session, bringing
you the unanswered questions from the recent live virtual event on World
Environment Day that was hosted by the Green Software Foundation on June 5
2023. Asim and Chris start with a discussion on the complexities of capturing
energy consumed by memory, I/O operations, and network calls in the SCI. They
explore real examples of measuring SCI on pipelines of CI/CD, showcasing
projects like Green Metrics Tool and the Google Summer of Code Wagtail
project. The conversation shifts to the carbon efficiency of GPUs and their
environmental impact, touching on the tech industry's increasing hardware
demands. They also address the potential for reusing cooling water from data
centers, considering various cooling designs and their impact on water
consumption.

Questions:
* SCI is not capturing energy consumed by Memory , I/O operation, network calls etc. So what is your take on it? [3:27]
* Does the GSF have any real examples of measuring SCI on pipelines of CI/CD? [7:15]
* What is the carbon efficiency (or otherwise) of GPUs, say, onerous compute vector search? Is that good for the environment? [23:40]
* Can the cooling water for data centers be reused? [36:28]
