Software energy consumption ratings.
Tammy expresses concern about software ratings being affected by hardware variations.
Tammy and Chris discuss the inconsistency in energy efficiency across different hardware manufacturers, with Chris suggesting that the issue is addressed in the spec but needs to be refreshed.
Tammy and Chris discuss the importance of standardising test environments for software ratings, with Chris suggesting a baseline hardware setup.
Standardizing software testing environments.
Chris suggests standardizing the test environment to remove variability in energy consumption and carbon emissions.
Chris discusses the feasibility of the Green Zone Foundation's standardization efforts and the potential for other organizations to duplicate their testing environment.
Oracle and Microsoft adopt similar testing standards for machine learning performance despite wide variations in software capabilities.
Software categorization and commonality.
Chris proposes standardizing on standard components of education to create domain-specific software specifications.
Tammy and Chris discuss standard software categorization and its relationship to performance.
Chris explains their process for defining commonalities in software categorization, using examples from different industries.
Benchmark certification for software.
Chris defines benchmark certification as a standardized workload or test on software, with consistent test environment specifications for comparison.
Chirs explains standardized certification process for music streaming services.
Chris and Tammy discuss potential concerns with the rating system, with Chris suggesting a standard platform for measuring hardware performance.
Standardizing GPU performance measurement.
Tammy and Sean discuss the proposed baseline for measuring GPU performance, with Tammy expressing optimism and Sean suggesting a 15-minute presentation at the next standards meeting.
Chris proposes creating an open-source product for crowd-sourced testing and rating of software, potentially leading to a governing body for GSF.
The idea is to provide an intuitive, non-numerical way for people to evaluate software based on their own experiences and opinions.
Standardizing and certifying software performance metrics.
Tammy and Chris discuss potential approaches for rating and approving energy-efficient products, including a community-based approach and a more formalized body to govern ratings.
Chris suggests identifying common components in upcoming events to improve efficiency, while Tammy compares the situation to the SCI specification for measurement, noting that it's complex and requires expertise.
The group discusses the need for a conformance program to validate scores in the context of a hypothetical "go cup" for computing community.
Chris explains two approaches to getting a trustworthy number for a product's performance: one through official testing by a highway authority, and the other through customer-generated data using a benchmarking tool.
Improving a technical document with community input.
Sean proposes bringing the baseline to the standards working group for review and feedback.
Chris suggests collecting open questions and addressing them as a community effort.
