Contemporary computation is dominated by power consumption issues. For example, battery life is key to mobile devices and power usage and resource conservation is important within server farms. Any savings in power consumption provide direct savings in power costs. Power consumption was once the domain of computer and electrical engineers, but mobile and cloud computing shifted some of the responsibility for power consumption to software engineers. Since applications can consume power in many different ways (disk, network, radio, video, etc.), practitioners seek methods of engineering software to reduce power consumption.

当代计算由功耗问题主导。例如，电池寿命是移动的设备的关键，并且功率使用和资源节约在服务器群中是重要的。 功耗的任何节省都提供了电力成本的直接节省。 功耗曾经是计算机和电气工程师的领域，但移动的和云计算将部分功耗责任转移到软件工程师身上。 由于应用程序可以以许多不同的方式（磁盘、网络、无线电、视频等）消耗功率，从业者寻求工程软件的方法来降低功耗。
