[EN] English Edition: "Green computing" had a strong showing at the annual conference for Research Software Engineering in Newcastle, UK, early September 2024. I talk to the presenters, poster creator and organisers of the birds of the feather session on the subject. In addition you hear from Charlotte Pascoe and Poppy Townsend from the UKRI on their project to get us to net zero. And finally, from the platinum sponsor of the conference: CloudKubed https://www.cloudkubed.com.

Also note https://eng.ox.ac.uk/netdrive/ from UKRI, who work towards a sustainable, digital research infrastructure.

ENGLISH EDITION: There are a lot of "large" things at CERN, including the amount of data produced and the software needed to manage and analyse them. In this episode I talk to Laura Promberger and Jakob Blomer from the CERN virtual machine/file system VM/VMFS project about how this set of tools is helping researchers.
And not just physicists, as CERN VM/VMFS is also used in other areas of the high performance computing community.
