We can categorize the tools & APIs into two dimensions:
- that help us assess the embodied impact of the equipment and infrastructure (static)
- that help us determine the operational impact stemming mainly from energy & water usage (dynamic)
Embodied Impact (Static)
Embodied impacts of a physical server type
Get the impacts of a server - Boavizta API documentation
https://doc.api.boavizta.org/getting_started/single_server/
Embodied impacts for an AWS instance type
Get the impacts of a cloud instance (AWS) - Boavizta API documentation
https://doc.api.boavizta.org/getting_started/single_cloud_instance/
Operational Impact (Dynamic)
Measuring on physical machines
Note that these tools will not work in Cloud or Virtualized environments as they require root-level access to the machine to call the RAPL or IPMI interfaces.

Measuring using different methods (both virtualized and physical)
The green metrics tool supports different ways to determine energy usage, including the SDIA Formulas and a machine learning model based on Spec SERT.

Reference Testing
If you need to test a piece of code or a repository on a reference system in which all measurements are available, you can create Gitlab repository in our laboratory and run it on our machines.
