2. INTRODUCTION

What is GREEN Computing???

What is the need for GREEN Computing???

How government is helping in GREEN Computing???

How to go GREEN???

Approaches to GREEN Computing.

3. WHAT IS GREEN COMPUTING??

According to the definition by San Murugesan; Green
computing is the study and practice of designing,
manufacturing, using and disposing all the computers,
servers and associated subsystems efficiently and
effectively with minimal or no impact on environment.

Manufacture ecofriendly devices/machines.

The technology which is beneficial to the environment.

4. NEED FOR GREEN COMPUTING???
At an average a typical computer use a 60-500 watts
 Additional 35-150 watts with LCD or CRT screen.
500
+150
------650 watts
 Total Personal computer(400 million) energy usage in
2000=23 nuclear power plant.
 Power is the main factor for improving the performance.

5. POWER CONSUMPTION BY PROCESSORS
oAs
new
and new
processors
are invented
rate of
power
consumption
increases.
oAnd
this
high power
consumption
is not eco
friendly.

7. MORE REASONS FOR HIGH
POWER CONSUMPTION.

As circuit speed increases, power consumption increases.

Designing low power circuits has been the most
important issue.

Mobile devices demand long battery life.

Low power consumption is listed as the second greatest
challenge for industry.

8. POWER CONSUMPTION AND DATA
CENTER
Where are the web page
you browse??
 Data center
 One single room in data
center contain 100 Racks.
 1 Rack=5 to 20 kW
 Contributed to the
2000/2001 energy crisis
in California.

•2006
•209 kWh
•200M tons of Co2

40 million cars

10. COOLING DATA CENTER


Current Coolants: CFCs
and HCFCs

Other coolants like HFC
increase green house
emission by 1300 times.
As all this are creating

15. CONCLUSION
From the all above
discussion we have seen
that there is high power
consumption by all this
data centers, computers
and other technical
equipments.
 To reduce the power
consumption and make
this all equipments echofriendly GREEN
Computing is necessary.
o

16. ROLE OF GOVERNMENT

Many government agencies have implemented standards
and regulations to encourage GREEN Computing.

State-wide recycling programs for obsolete of computers
and consumer electronic equipments.

Government provide fund to improve the energy
efficiency of data centers.

Made e-waste collection centers.

17. 
In 1992 the U.S
Environmental Protection
Agency launched Energy
star, a voluntary labeling
program that is designed
to promote and recognize
energy efficiency in
monitors, climate control
equipments and other
technologies.

18. APPROACHES TO GREEN
COMPUTING.
Algorithmic Efficiency
 Power Management
 Video card
 Display
 Material Recycling
 Telecommuting
 e-waste Management
 Make low power using
machines
