Green Computing for ICT Sustainability: Smarter Code, Lower Emissions

As energy demands rise across the ICT sector, improving code efficiency becomes essential for sustainability. This talk presents how mathematical tools, particularly those used to simplify complex polynomial models, can significantly reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions in simulations. We demonstrate how algorithmic reformulations maintain accuracy while cutting computational operations, resulting in up to 28% less power usage and CO2 output. Applied to models used in signal processing and control systems, this green computing approach supports broader goals of sustainable digital infrastructure. The talk will highlight practical results and discuss the potential for scalable impact across research and industry.
