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（汽车主板和监视器）是一个开源工具，软件开发人员可以测量他们构建的系统的功耗和碳排放。我们的软件咨询公司Root &分支Digital通过设计、开发和部署绿色软件，帮助企业减少数字化碳足迹。但是，你不能减少你没有衡量的东西。这就是小豆蔻的用武之地。小豆蔻有两种用途。作为开发过程中使用的轻量级工具，允许开发人员看到他们的代码更改所产生的影响。2.作为生产环境的监视器，为产品所有者提供有关其部署产品的环境影响的洞察力。但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、航运和铁路加起来还多。虽然硬件导致了这些排放，但软件推动了需求。随着AI等能源密集型技术的加速发展，这一趋势正在增长[3]。为了支持数字技术的可持续发展，我们必须改变软件开发的方式，而Cardamon就是这一变化的一部分。_Sources_ \[1\]“ICT的真实的气候和变革影响：对估计、趋势和法规的批判”（Freitag et al，2021）https：//doi.org/10.1016/j.patter.2021.100340\[2\]“逐部门：全球温室气体排放来自何处？“（里奇，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-centres-and-data-transmission-networks
