WHAT IS GREEN COMPUTING?
• It is the study of efficient and eco-friendly computer
resources.
• In recent years,computer industry have come to realize that
going green is their best interest
• Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) launched the
energy star program
ENERGY STAR PROGRAM
• Energy star is an international standard for energy efficient
consumer products originated in the U.S. in 1992.
GOALS OF GREEN COMPUTING
• Reduce the use of hazardous materials.
• Maximise energy efficiency during the product’s lifetime.
• Promote the biodegradability of defunct products and
factory waste.
APPROACHES TO GREEN
COMPUTING
• Algorithmic Efficiency
• Power Management
• Video Card
• Display
• Materials Recycling
• Telecommuting
APPLICATIONS
• Algorithmic efficiency - Algorithm changes, such as switching from a
slow (e.g. linear) search algorithm to a fast (e.g. hashed or indexed) search
algorithm can reduce resource usage for a given task from substantial to close to
zero.
• Video card- A fast GPU may be the largest power consumer in a computer
Select a GPU based on low idle power, average wattage, or
performance per watt(to measure energy efficiency).
• Display- CRT monitors typically use more power than LCD monitors. They
also contain significant amounts of lead.
LCD monitors typically use a cold-cathode fluorescent bulb to provide light for
the display. Some newer displays use an array of LED
• Materials recycling- Recycling computing equipment can keep harmful
materials such as lead, mercury, and hexavalent chromium out of landfills.
• TELECOMMUTING- Work from home
GREEN WEB SURFING
• Greener Google Browsing: [Link]
• Being Green With Yahoo!
• Greener FireFox Surfing
• Other Green Surfing Efforts
GREEN TECHNOLOGIES
• POWER SAVING LINK STATUS
• WI-FI SCHEDULER
GREEN PC’S
• Fit-PC :is the size of a paperback and absolutely silent,
yet fit enough to run Windows XP or Linux. fit-PC is designed
to fit where a standard PC is too bulky, noisy and power
hungry. a tiny PC that draws only 5w in a day,consumes less
power than a traditional PC consumes in 1 hour. You can leave
fit-PC to work 24/7
• Zonbu Computer: The Zonbu is a new, very energy
efficient PC. The Zonbu consumes just one third of the power
of a typical light bulb. The device runs the Linux operating
system using a 1.2 gigahertz processor and 512 meg of RAM.
You can get one for as little as US$99

POWER MANAGEMENT
• Power management for computer systems are desired for
many reasons, particularly,
• Prolong battery life for portable and embedded systems.
• Reduce cooling requirements.
• Reduce noise.
• Reduce operating costs for energy and cooling.
GREEN CLOUD COMPUTING
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
GREEN
AND CLOUD COMPUTING
• GREEN COMPUTING • CLOUD COMPUTING
Green computing is the
Cloud refers to the potential environmental
environmentally responsible and eco-
benefits that information technology (IT)
friendly use of computers and their
services delivered over the Internet can offer
resources. In broader terms, it is also
society. The term combines the words green
defined as the study of designing,
-- meaning environmentally friendly -- and
manufacturing/engineering, using
cloud, the traditional symbol for the Internet
and disposing of computing devices
and the shortened name for a type of service
in a way that reduces their
delivery model known as cloud computing.

GREEN COMPUTING
DEVELOPMENT
TECHNIQUES
• Power-sucking displays can be replaced with green light displays made of OLEDs, or
organic light-emitting diodes.
• Use of toxic materials like lead can be replaced by silver and copper.
• Higher-quality power supplies can be over 80% efficient; higher energy efficiency
uses less power directly, and requires less power.
• Turn your computer and monitor off when you are not using it.
• Specify low energy consumption level in Request for Tender documents.
MERITS AND DEMERITS
ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
• Reduced energy usage from green • Green computing could actually be quite
computing techniques translates costly.
lower carbon dioxide emissions,
stemming from a reduction in the
fossil fuel used in power plants
• Saving energy and resources saves • Some computers that are green may be
money considerably underpowered.
• Reduce the risk existing in the
laptops such as chemical known to • Rapid technology change
cause cancer, nerve damage and
immune reactions in humans
FUTURE OF GREEN COMPUTING
• Opportunities lie in green technology like never before in
history and organizations are seeing it as a way to create new
profit centers while trying to help the environmental cause.
• Inefficient CPU's are a double hit because they both use too
much power themselves and their waste heat increases air
conditioning needs, especially in server farms.
• The waste heat also causes reliability problems, as CPU's crash
much more often at higher temperatures, generally as little as
47% efficient. Recent inventions of power supply are helping
fix this by running at 80% efficiency or better.
CONCLUSION
• As 21st century belongs to computers,energy issues will get a
serious ring in the coming days.
• If we think computers are nonpolluting and consume very little
energy we need to think again.
• It is estimated that out of $250 billion per year spent on
powering computers worldwide only about 15% of that power
is spent computing- the rest is wasted idling.
• Thus, energy saved on computer hardware and computing will
equate tonnes of carbon emissions saved per year.
