NAGARAJU Faculty Member, Department of M.C.A, Andhra University Campus, Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, India ABSTRACT Green computing is the practice of using computing resources efficiently. Modern IT relies upon a complicated mix of people, networks, and hardware, as such a green computing initiative must be systematic in nature, and address increasingly sophisticated problems. Green computing is the utmost requirement to protect environment and save energy along with operational expenses in today’s increasingly competitive world. Green technology focuses on reducing the environmental impact of industrial processes and innovative technologies caused by the Earth’s growing population. It has taken upon itself the goal to provide society’s needs in ways that do not damage the natural resources. This means creating fully recyclable products, reducing pollution, proposing alternative technologies in various fields, and creating a center of economic activity around technologies that benefit the environment. The huge amount of computing manufactured worldwide has a direct impact on environment issues, and scientists are conducting numerous studies in order to reduce the negative impact of computing technology on our natural resources. A central point of research is testing and applying alternative nonhazardous materials in the products’ manufacturing process. KEYWORDS: Proposing Alternative Technologies in Various Fields, "Green Computing", Maximize Energy Efficiency during the Product's Lifetime INTRODUCTION Overview of Green Computing In 1992, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency launched Energy Star, a voluntary labeling program which is designed to promote and recognize energy-efficiency in monitors, climate control equipment, and other technologies.

  • Building a Distribution: Openharmony and Openmandriva
    Two different approaches to building a distribution: OpenHarmony and OpenMandriva Bernhard "bero" Rosenkränzer <[email protected]> FOSDEM 2021 -- February 6, 2021 1 MY CONTACT: [email protected], [email protected] Way more important than that, he also feeds LINKEDIN: dogs. https://www.linkedin.com/in/berolinux/ Bernhard "bero" Rosenkränzer I don't usually do "About Me", but since it may be relevant to the topic: Principal Technologist at Open Source Technology Center since November 2020 President of the OpenMandriva Association, Contributor since 2012 - also a contributor to Mandrake back in 1998/1999 2 What is OpenHarmony? ● More than an operating system: Can use multiple different kernels (Linux, Zephyr, ...) ● Key goal: autonomous, cooperative devices -- multiple devices form a distributed virtual bus and can share resources ● Initial target devices: Avenger 96 (32-bit ARMv7 Cortex-A7+-M4), Nitrogen 96 (Cortex-M4) ● Built with OpenEmbedded/Yocto - one command builds the entire OS ● Fully open, developed as an Open Source project instead of an inhouse product from the start. ● For more information, visit Stefan Schmidt's talk in the Embedded devroom, 17.30 and/or talk to us at the Huawei OSTC stand. 3 What is OpenMandriva? ● A more traditional Linux distribution - controlled by the community, continuing where Mandriva left off after the company behind it went out of business in 2012. Its roots go back to the first Mandrake Linux release in 1998. ● Originally targeting only x86 PCs - Support for additional architectures (aarch64, armv7hnl, RISC-V) added later ● Repositiories contain 17618 packages, built and updated individually, assembled into an installable product with omdv-build-iso or os-image-builder.

Bechtely, Elise McEllhineyy, Minje Kim?, Heechul Yuny y University of Kansas, USA. fmbechtel, elisemmc, [email protected] ? Indiana University, USA.

DeepPicar is a small scale requires a high computing capacity as well as the means to replication of a real self-driving car called DAVE-2 by NVIDIA. guaranteeing the timings. On the other hand, the computing DAVE-2 uses a deep convolutional neural network (CNN), which takes images from a front-facing camera as input and produces hardware platform must also satisfy cost, size, weight, and car steering angles as output. DeepPicar uses the same net- power constraints, which require a highly efficient computing work architecture—9 layers, 27 million connections and 250K platform. These two conflicting requirements complicate the parameters—and can drive itself in real-time using a web camera platform selection process as observed in [25]. and a Raspberry Pi 3 quad-core platform. Using DeepPicar, we To understand what kind of computing hardware is needed analyze the Pi 3’s computing capabilities to support end-to-end deep learning based real-time control of autonomous vehicles. for AI workloads, we need a testbed and realistic workloads. We also systematically compare other contemporary embedded While using a real car-based testbed would be most ideal, it computing platforms using the DeepPicar’s CNN-based real-time is not only highly expensive, but also poses serious safety control workload.

  • End-To-End Learning for Autonomous Driving Robots
    End-to-End Learning for Autonomous Driving Robots Anthony Ryan 21713293 Supervisor: Professor Thomas Bräunl GENG5511/GENG5512 Engineering Research Project Submitted: 25th May 2020 Word Count: 8078 Faculty of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences School of Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering 1 Abstract This thesis presents the development of a high-speed, low cost, end-to-end deep learning based autonomous robot driving system called ModelCar-2. This project builds on a previous project undertaken at the University of Western Australia called ModelCar, where a robotics driving system was first developed with a single LIDAR scanner as its only sensory input as a baseline for future research into autonomous vehicle capabilities with lower cost sensors. ModelCar-2 is comprised of a Traxxas Stampede RC Car, Wide-Angle Camera, Raspberry Pi 4 running UWA’s RoBIOS software and a Hokuyo URG-04LX LIDAR Scanner. ModelCar-2 aims to demonstrate how the cost of producing autonomous driving robots can be reduced by replacing expensive sensors such as LIDAR with digital cameras and combining them with end-to-end deep learning methods and Convolutional Neural Networks to achieve the same level of autonomy and performance. ModelCar-2 is a small-scale application of PilotNet, developed by NVIDIA and used in the DAVE-2 system. ModelCar-2 uses TensorFlow and Keras to recreate the same neural network architecture as PilotNet which features 9 layers, 27,000,000 connections and 252,230 parameters. The Convolutional Neural Network was trained to map the raw pixels from images taken with a single inexpensive front-facing camera to predict the speed and steering angle commands to control the servo and drive the robot.
