'Byte-sized green computing' is our free virtual training course, running across four sessions between 2–30 November 2026. Registration is free but limited, and places will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis: www.ebi.ac.uk/training/eve...

The environmental impact of computing is an increasingly important and recognised issue: growing demand for digital services, data storage, high-performance computing and Artificial Intelligence (AI) brings greater resource use and associated impacts such as greenhouse gas emissions.

This series of “byte-sized” training events will offer four tailored sessions focused on practical actions that participants can implement in their work to monitor, minimise and report its environmental impact.

– Green continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) – Metrics for monitoring software emissions efficiency – CATS: the Climate Aware Task Scheduler – nf-co2footprint: estimating the carbon footprint of Nextflow pipelines
