We are intending to initiate a research project on Sustainable Computing topic, in particular, how programming languages (Rust, C, Java, Python etc.) affect the carbon efficiencies of the full computing stack, and translate the efficiencies into economic impacts in dollar terms, using the SCI methodology as a tool for such studies. Effectively this project could be a case study or an application of SCI and intends to apply the SCI methodology to the Social Cost of Carbon (SCC) study of programming languages and software systems. Apply meaning to SCI scores is not limited to dollar terms, but it could also be carbon efficiency rankings of comparable computing systems, ICT solutions, 5G base stations, etc. Please see the attached document for details. Please feel free to ping me for further discussions, ideas, collaborations.
