Fwd: Green Computing Paper

Here's an interesting paper from Nick about how we can reduce the carbon footprint of fMRI analysis. https://osf.io/7q5mh/ Let me know what you think :) Cheers Beth ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Nick Souter &lt;nes522(a)york.ac.uk&gt; Date: Tue, 8 Aug 2023 at 17:00 Subject: Green Computing Paper To: FLEXSEM &lt;flexsem-group(a)york.ac.uk&gt; Hi all, Hope you're all doing well :) I've just released the preprint for my first post-doc paper <https://osf.io/7q5mh/>! It's a short perspective piece focusing on 10 steps neuroimagers can take to reduce the carbon footprint of their research computing (preprocessing and analysis). Thought I would share here in case there is anything actionable you could take away from it. In particular, there is stuff about long term data storage and data cleaning which might be relevant to issues with freeing up space on the FLEXSEM drive at YNiC. As part of this, we've developed a tool called fMRIPrepCleanup <https://github.com/NickESouter/fMRIPrepCleanup> specifically designed to comb over fMRIPrep output and delete all the junk files (although take caution using it, as covered in the readme!!).
