Year ago, I posted here that there should be some sort of ongoing Green X-Prize for this style of Linux kernel optimization. It's still crazy to me that this doesn't exist.
One would hope, but when I last gave this some thought... If you are in the C-suite, and could deploy your best devs to maybe save some unknown % on energy costs, or have them work on a well-defined new feature that grows your ARR 5% next year, which would you do?
Also, would you share all new found efficiencies with your competitors?
It's a public good where the biz that creates it captures very little of the value it generates, so investment in this kind of optimization is likely far below optimal.
