Green Mining: Keeping Software Sustainable by Engineering for Power Consumption

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

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.
