Green Computing
- 2. CONTENT • Introduction • Origin • Approaches • Implement • Simple Tasks • Advantages & Disadvantages • CONCLUSION
- 3. Green computinG is the study and practice of using computing resources efficiently. Green computinG or Green IT goals are similar to green chemistry.
- 4. WHY GO GREEN? Computer energy is often wasteful Pollution
- 5. Origin • In 1992, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency launched Energy Star, a voluntary labelling program which is designed to promote and recognize energy-efficiency in monitors, climate control equipment, and other technologies. • Saved $14 billion in energy costs in 2006 alone. • Widespread adoption of sleep mode • EPEAT, is focused on promoting energy efficient products.
- 6. Virtualization Power management IT equipment recycling Remote conferencing & Telecommuting strategies
- 7. Approaches to Green Computing Display: •LCD displays: use a CCF bulb •LED displays: use an array of LEDs •LCD monitors uses 3 times less when active, and 10 times less energy when in sleep mode. •LCDs are up to 66% more energy efficient. •LCDs are also smaller in size and weight. •21" CRT typically uses more than 120W.
- 8. Approaches to Green Computing Operating System Support: •Windows 7 includes refinements for more efficient user of operating system timers, processor power management, and display panel brightness. •Linux Os utilizing less resources than other OS, and also have a better power management facility. Terminal servers: •Terminals can be combined with thin clients, which use up to 1/8 the amount of energy of a normal workstation.
- 9. Remove unused equipment and software Power-sucking displays can be replaced with OLEDs. Use Linux, which requires less resources than many other OS.
- 11. BLACKLE • Search-engine site powered by Google Search. • White consumes 74W whereas black it consumes only 59W. • Different colors consumes different amounts of energy.
- 12. ZONBU COMPUTER •New and energy efficient PC. •Runs the Linux OS using 1.2GH processor & 512MH of RAM. •Consumes one third of the power of a typical light bulb.
- 13. •Size of a paperback and silent, run WindowsXP or Linux. •Draws only 5 Watts than PC. FIT-PC
- 14. SUNRAY THIN CLIENT •Consume less electricity than conventional desktops. •consumes 4 to 8 watts of power.
- 15. •The Asus Eee PC is one example of an ultraportable. •Factors of ultraportable combine to enable them to run more efficiently and use less power than a standard Form factor laptop. ASUS EEE PC
- 16. Simple Tasks for Go Green • Buy and use a low power desktop or a laptop computer (40-90 watts) rather a higher power desktop (e.g. 300 watts). • Thin clients can use only 4 to 8 watts of power at the desktop as the processing is done by a server. • Buy hardware from manufacturers that have a hardware recycling scheme, and recycle your old computer equipment rather than sending it to landfill.
- 17. Steps by Apple • MacBook keyboards are made from one single piece of aluminum • MacBook pro notebooks have long lasting batteries where as a normal notebook uses three batteries a MacBook will only use one through out its life time.
- 18. Steps by DELL • Their free world-wide product recycling program allows user to properly dispose their product safely. • Their “Plant a tree for me” project can offset a customers carbon emissions for only three dollars.
- 19. ADVANTAGES &DISADVANTAGES Advantage: By conserving resources Reduced usage of energy Disadvantage: Costly
- 20. CONCLUSION • The features of a green computer of tomorrow would be like: efficiency, manufacturing & materials, recyclability, service model, self- powering, and other trends. • The greenest computer will not miraculously fall from the sky one day.
