Green computing emphasizes the efficient use of computing resources to minimize environmental impact by reducing hazardous materials and promoting eco-friendly practices. Key approaches include virtualization, power management, and materials recycling, with examples like the Blackle search engine and thin clients. The future focuses on energy-saving technologies and the development of green materials while encouraging practices like minimizing printing and using energy-efficient devices.

1. GREEN COMPUTING
the next wave in computing

2. WHAT IS GREEN COMPUTING?
It is the study of using
computing resources efficiently.
The main goal of green
computing is to reduce
hazardous materials , promote
biodegradability and eco-friendly
Computing.

3. Why should we use
green computing?
Contaminated waterways and
environment.
Harmful to our health
Because toxic chemicals
generated by computers are
absorbed our lungs.

4. APPROACHES OF GREEN COMPUTING
Virtualization
Power management
Materials recycling

5. VIRTUALIZATION
It is the process of running two or more logical computer
Systems on one set of physical hardware.

7. MATERIALS
RECYCLING

IMPLEMENTATIONS OF GREEN COMPUTING

9. BLACKLE
Blackle is a search engine site such
as Google, yahoo, msn, etc.
A normal Google homepage or empty
word page consumes 74W But when
screen becomes black it consumes
only 59W.

11. SUNRAY THIN CLIENT

12. SUNRAYTHIN CLIENT
A thin client can refer to either
a Software Program or to an
actual computer that Relies
heavily on another computer
to do most of Its work.
It consist of multiple
Heterogeneous Workstations
Connected to a single server.

13. Architecture of thin client
Thin clients run an operating system Locally and
carry flash memory rather than a Hard disk. Thus it
does not require constant monitoring and securing.
It has no local storage so all applications
and data are stored on a central server.
.

15. Applications of thin client
Used in hospitals, educational
systems, internet cafes, libraries
and home users.
Acts as remote accessing
Solution for companies.
Client site technologies like a
AJAX and FLASH makes it more
compatible.

16. Characteristics of thin client
Single point of failure-It has both
Positive and negative aspects.
Cheap client hardware-it uses very
low power and does not even require
cooling fans.
Slow animated graphics-3d games
or drawings are unusable on thin client.

18. Future of green computing
New electronic products
are introduced towards
energy saving.
Combine ecology with
technology using Solar
technology in
Keyboards.
Green materials are
Developed every year.

20. THINK ABOUT IT
Ask yourself if you really need to print that document?

21. Tips for Green computing
Look for energy efficient devices.
Switch off screens and other devices
at night.
Use server and web based
applications.
apply the famous concept of 3R’s
