Assessing the Environmental Impact of Computational Chemistry and Strategies for Sustainable Computing
Objective:
This assignment challenges students to investigate the environmental footprint of computational chemistry, particularly in terms of energy consumption, carbon emissions, and electronic waste. Students will analyze pollution caused by large-scale simulations, cloud computing, and high-performance computing (HPC) systems and propose strategies for mitigating these environmental effects.
