Abstract
Despite several calls from the community for improving the sustainability of computing, sufficient progress is yet to be made on one of the key prerequisites of sustainable computing---the ability to define and measure computing sustainability holistically. This position paper proposes metrics that aim to measure the end-to-end sustainability footprint in data centers. To enable useful sustainable computing efforts, these metrics can track the sustainability footprint at various granularities---from a single request to an entire data center. The proposed metrics can also broadly influence sustainable computing practices by incentivizing end-users and developers to participate in sustainable computing efforts in data centers.
