Cardamon (the \[Car\]bon \[Da\]shboard and \[Mon\]itor) is an open-source tool for software developers to measure the power consumption and carbon emissions of the systems they build. It provides developers and product owners with insight into the impact their digital product has on the environment.Our software consultancy, Root & Branch Digital, helps organisations reduce their digital carbon footprint through the design, development and deployment of green software. But, you can't reduce what you don't measure. That's where Cardamon comes in.Cardamon can be used in two ways.1. As a light-weight tool used during development, allowing developers to see the impact that their code changes are making.2. As a monitor for production environments, providing insight to product owners into the environmental impact of their deployed product.But why should we care about green software?Computing technology is a substantial source of greenhouse gas emissions. The IT industry emits more CO2 than aviation, shipping and rail combined \[1\] \[2\]. Although hardware causes these emissions, software drives the demand. And this is growing with the acceleration of energy-intensive technology like AI \[3\]. To support the sustainable growth of digital technology we must change how software is developed and Cardamon is part of that change. _Sources_ \[1\] "The real climate and transformative impact of ICT: A critique of estimates, trends, and regulations" (Freitag et al, 2021) https://doi.org/10.1016/j.patter.2021.100340\[2\] "Sector by sector: where do global greenhouse gas emissions come from?"(Ritchie, 2020) https://ourworldindata.org/ghg-emissions-by-sector \[3\] "IES: Data Centres and Data Transmission Networks" (2023)https://www.iea.org/energy-system/buildings/data-centres-and-data-transmission-networks

Cardamon（\[Car\]bon \[Da\]shboard 和 \[Mon\]itor）是一款开源工具，供软件开发人员测量他们构建的系统的功耗和碳排放。它使开发人员和产品所有者能够深入了解其数字产品对环境的影响。我们的软件咨询公司 Root & Branch Digital 帮助组织通过设计、开发和部署绿色软件来减少数字碳足迹。但是，您无法减少未衡量的内容。这就是小豆蔻的用武之地。小豆蔻有两种用途。1。作为开发过程中使用的轻量级工具，使开发人员能够看到他们的代码更改所产生的影响。2。作为生产环境的监控器，让产品所有者深入了解其部署的产品对环境的影响。但是我们为什么要关心绿色软件呢？计算技术是温室气体排放的重要来源。 IT 行业排放的二氧化碳比航空、航运和铁路的总排放量还要多\[1\] \[2\]。尽管硬件导致了这些排放，但软件驱动了需求。随着人工智能等能源密集型技术的加速发展，这种情况正在增长[3]。为了支持数字技术的可持续发展，我们必须改变软件的开发方式，而 Cardamon 是这一变革的一部分。 _来源_ \[1\] “ICT 的真实气候和变革性影响：对估计、趋势和法规的批判”（Freitag 等人，2021 年）https://doi.org/10.1016/j.patter.2021.100340\[ 2\]“逐个部门：全球温室气体排放从何而来？”（Ritchie，2020） https://ourworldindata.org/ghg-emissions-by-sector \[3\]“IES：数据中心和数据传输网络”（2023）https://www.iea.org/energy-system/buildings/data -中心和数据传输网络
