Abstract:The exponential growth of data is making query processing increasingly critical for modern computing infrastructure, yet the environmental impact of database operations remains poorly understood and largely overlooked. This paper presents ATLAS, a comprehensive methodology for measuring and quantifying the environmental footprint of analytical database systems, considering both operational impacts and manufacturing costs of hardware components. Through exten...
