Net Zero DRI Project Partners Webinars - slides for all talks

This document contains all presentation slides that were presented during the Project Partner webinars, hosted by the UKRI Net Zero DRI Scoping Project team in early 2023. Pages 1-85 show slides for webinar 1.Page 86 onwards are the slides that were presented during webinar 2. Recordings of the webinars can be found here: Webinar 1 -technical and operational challenges Webinar 2 - community and organisational challenges Further details about the webinars: The UKRI Net Zero Digital Research Infrastructure Scoping Project (https://net-zero-dri.ceda.ac.uk/) team hosted two webinars to share the outcomes of work undertaken by our project partners (https://net-zero-dri.ceda.ac.uk/project-activities/). These pieces of work have been undertaken by over 40 researchers from 20 different institutions over the last ~6 months. Both webinars provided an opportunity for the wider research community to engage with and discuss the project outcomes. Webinar 1 covered technical and operational challenges such as: hardware procurement, design and architecture of infrastructure, cloud platforms, consolidation, power management and efficiency, end-of-life, and carbon capture and offsetting. Speakers presented from the following project partners: - CarbonQuanDRI: developing a measurement trace capturing various sustainability aspects in the operation of a DRI service, including dependencies between different indicators (e.g. data flow, power consumption, and carbon intensity) (https://net-zero-dri.ceda.ac.uk/cquandri/) - IRISCAST: auditing energy usage of the IRIS DRI via snap-hot data capture (https://net-zero-dri.ceda.ac.uk/iriscast/) - Energetic: exploring energy-to-solution consumption in High Performance Computing (HPC) (https://net-zero-dri.ceda.ac.uk/energetic/) - HPC-Jeep: informing efficient, environmentally conscientious use of HPC resources – ARCHER2 and DiRAC (https://net-zero-dri.ceda.ac.uk/hpc-jeep/) - Mapping the DRI: collating a representative sample of the DRI using the UKRI InfraPortal (https://net-zero-dri.ceda.ac.uk/mapping/) - Case studies update – detailed analysis for the following infrastructures: JASMIN, Archer2, Jade, Scafell Pike Webinar 2 covered community and organisational challenges such as: user facing services, data management, behaviour change, training, proportionality of energy use, the risks of negative impacts, and monitoring and driving change. Speakers presented from the following project partners: - Arinzrit: mapping the DRI policy and practice landscape (https://net-zero-dri.ceda.ac.uk/arinzrit/) - Value: developing recommendations for evaluating carbon emissions vs output ‘value’ to support UKRI decision-making (https://net-zero-dri.ceda.ac.uk/value/) - Go Zero: empowering the research community to take ownership of Net Zero (https://net-zero-dri.ceda.ac.uk/go-zero/) - DRI User Behaviour Survey: identifying implicit attitudes to environmental sustainability and gathered information about existing sustainable usage of DRI (https://net-zero-dri.ceda.ac.uk/user-behaviour-survey/) - Art to inspire collective action on sustainable digital research infrastructure: the progress so far and how you can get involved (https://net-zero-dri.ceda.ac.uk/art-commission/) &nbsp
