Because of growing amount of the data(known as „big data”) needed to be store and process there is a rapid growth of usage electricity and emission. In this paper we present the IT solution of this problem: green computing, solutions to storage and manage the energy and IT support needed to manage and control those systems. The article presents the main idea and already implemented solutions. 1 Introduction In modern society energy consumption is continuing to grow. Non-renewable resources which use to be a primary source of energy are depleted. This leads to finding new ways of obtaining and saving the energy. It becomes important to accommodate and implement these solutions wherever possible. Nowadays IT is present in all branches of technology and science so one versatile system, easy to adapt for different needs, might save plenty of energy. The blend of green computing and energy storage systems (ESS) seems promising because of reduction of emissions, energy consumption and use of non-renewable energy sources at the same time. Green computing is not just about ecology but also saving money and resources. Data centers are essential elements of modern world, there are necessary to processing and store big data. A problem of data centers is high demand of power required to run the actual equipment and to cool the equipment. The solution is green data centers where the mechanical, lighting, electrical and computer systems are designed for maximum energy efficiency and minimum environmental impact. The construction and operation of a green data center includes advanced technologies and strategies. I.T industry is investing lot of time and money to devise new and effective ways to conserve energy. Companies like IBM, Hewlett Packard, SprayCool, and Cooligy are working on technologies such as liquid cooling, nano fluid-cooling systems, and in-server, in-rack, and in-row cooling. Other novel ways of making a data center more environmentally friendly include using new high-density servers, using hydrogen fuel cells as alternative green power sources, and applying virtualization technologies that reduce the total power consumption of servers and lower the heat generated. * Corresponding author: [email protected] © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences.

  • Low-Power Computing
    LOW-POWER COMPUTING Safa Alsalman a, Raihan ur Rasool b, Rizwan Mian c a King Faisal University, Alhsa, Saudi Arabia b Victoria University, Melbourne, Australia c Data++, Toronto, Canada Corresponding email: [email protected] Abstract With the abundance of mobile electronics, demand for Low-Power Computing is pressing more than ever. Achieving a reduction in power consumption requires gigantic efforts from electrical and electronic engineers, computer scientists and software developers. During the past decade, various techniques and methodologies for designing low-power solutions have been proposed. These methods are aimed at small mobile devices as well as large datacenters. There are techniques that consider design paradigms and techniques including run-time issues. This paper summarizes the main approaches adopted by the IT community to promote Low-power computing. Keywords: Computing, Energy-efficient, Low power, Power-efficiency. Introduction In the past two decades, technology has evolved rapidly affecting every aspect of our daily lives. The fact that we study, work, communicate and entertain ourselves using all different types of devices and gadgets is an evidence that technology is a revolutionary event in the human history. The technology is here to stay but with big responsibilities comes bigger challenges. As digital devices shrink in size and become more portable, power consumption and energy efficiency become a critical issue. On one end, circuits designed for portable devices must target increasing battery life. On the other end, the more complex high-end circuits available at data centers have to consider power costs, cooling requirements, and reliability issues. Low-power computing is the field dedicated to the design and manufacturing of low-power consumption circuits, programming power-aware software and applying techniques for power-efficiency [1][2].

College Woman University Sialkot Received: 06 April 2020; Accepted: 13 May 2020; Published: 08 June 2020 Abstract Cloud computing is a mechanism for allowing effective, easy and on-demand network access to a shared pool of computer resources. Instead of storing data on PCs and upgrading softwares to match your requirements, the internet services are used to save data or use its apps remotely. It perform the function of processing and storing a database to provide consumers with versatility. For specialized computational needs, the supercomputers are used in cloud computing. Because of execution of such high performances computers, a great deal of power devoured and the result is that certain dangerous gases are often emitted in a comparable amounts of energy. Green computing is the philosophy that aim to restrict this technique by introducing latest models that would work effectively while devouring less resources and having less people. The basic goal of this study is to discuss the techniques of green computing for achieving low power consumption. We analyze multiple power management techniques used in the virtual enviroment and further green computing uses are mentioned. The advantages of green computing discussed in this study have shown that it help in cutting cost of companies, save enviroment and maintain its sustainability. This work suggested that researchers are becoming ever more invloved in green computing technology.

Green computing is also called as green technology. The principle behind energy efficient coding is to save power by getting software to make less use of the hardware, rather than continuing to run the same code on hardware that uses less power. Green computing is the environmentally responsible use of computers and related resources. Such practices include the implementation of energy-efficient central processing units (CPUs), servers and peripherals as well as reduced resource consumption and proper disposal of electronic waste (e-waste).Green computing is also necessary for the future generation also. This work includes the use of green computing in today’s world and how the environment problems can reduced using green computing and how to protect the future by using the green technology. Keywords— green computing, energy star, approaches towards green computing, implementation of green computing and future of green computing. INTRODUCTION Green computing is also known as green information technology (green IT).Green computing is the environmentally responsible and eco-friendly use of computers and their resources [1].In broader terms, it is also defined as the study of designing, manufacturing/engineering, using and disposing of computing devices in a way that reduces their environmental impact.

  • Becoming Green and Sustainable
    School of Sustainable Development of Society and Technology Master Thesis in IT Management Mission Possible: Becoming Green and Sustainable An empirical study on Green IT Adoption and underlying factors influencing it By Gholamreza Nazari and Hooman Karim TUTOR : Ole Liljefors Västerås, Sweden November 2011 1 Abstract Course: Master Thesis in IT Management Authors: Gholamreza Nazari and Houman Karim Tutor: Ole Liljefors Tittle: Mission Possible: Becoming Green and Sustainable- An empirical study on Green IT Adoption and underlying factors influencing it Purpose: This study aims to investigate the main areas of Green IT and to determine which areas of Green IT have been widely adopted and implemented in our case studies. The purpose of the proposed study is also to identify, describe and analyze underlying factors that are perceived to be important to the adoption and implementation of Green IT. Finally, this research attempts to examine which factors are more important in our two case studies, Västerås City Stad and Mälardalen University. Method: This study is mostly based on an open and exploratory research method. Case study is used as the main approach in this thesis in order to identify different areas of Green IT and key factors influencing Green IT adoption. Qualitative research method has been implemented for data collection and analysis of the research study. Two questionnaires and some interviews were our primary data collection tools. Findings: The findings identified five main areas of Green IT. Corporate Citizenship and the Office Environment areas are widely adopted in our case studies. Among 15 key factors, we identified in the literature, Organizational Slack, compatibility and competitive pressure are the most significant factors in two organizations we studied.
