contents In this paper we introduce the energy efficiency as a new metric for evaluating both hardware platforms based on Graphic Processor Units (GPU), and algorithm optimisations at High Energy Physics (HEP) experiments. We develop a method to compute the energy efficiency for the case of the first high level trigger (HLT1) of the LHCb experiment, relating the throughput with GPU specifications such as the number of cores, clock frequency, memory bandwidth and thermal design power. The model can be extended to other HEP experiments to make decisions and reach sustainable computing ecosystems.
