Environmental Footprints of Query Processing: A Vision for Sustainable Database Architectures
Summary: Exposes the multidimensional environmental footprint (energy, carbon, water) of query processing and argues for treating sustainability as a first-class objective alongside latency/throughput. Sketches eco-aware hardware–software database architectures and a focused research agenda. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
