Energy Consumption and Communication Protocols - Understanding Efficiency and Environmental Impact

Watch a 41-minute conference talk from EclipseCon 2023 exploring the relationship between energy consumption and communication protocols. Dive into the concept of energy efficiency through the lens of messaging protocols, examining how efficiency can be measured in terms of work accomplished per unit of energy. Learn about three critical aspects of protocol efficiency: processing, wire, and routing efficiency, with practical comparisons between MQTT, OMG DDS, and Eclipse Zenoh protocols. Discover the often-overlooked energy implications for battery-powered devices and overall emissions reduction, going beyond surface-level understanding to reveal the true energetic impact of protocol choices. While no prior technical knowledge is required, prepare for an eye-opening exploration of actual energy consumption patterns in modern communication systems, presented by Angelo Corsaro from ZettaScale Technology SARL in Ludwigsburg, Germany.
