Abstract:
Green computing is the study and practice of using
computing resources efficiently. The
plan towards green IT should include
new electronic products and Services with optimum efficiency and all possible
options towards energy savings.
In order to achieve sustainable computing,
we need to rethink from a “Green Computing”perspective.
Green computing or green IT, refers to environmentally sustainable computing or IT. In the article Harnessing Green IT: Principles and Practices, San Murugesan
defines the field
of green computing as "the study and
practice of designing, manufacturing, using , and disposing
of computers, servers, and associated
subsystems—such monitors, printers, storage devices, and networking and
communications systems—efficiently and effectively with minimal or no impact on
the environment." The goals of
green computing are similar to green chemistry;
reduce the use of hazardous materials, maximize energy efficiency during the product's lifetime, and promote the respectability or biodegradability of defunct products and factory waste. Research
continues into key areas such as making
the use of computers as energy-efficient as possible, and designing algorithms
and systems for efficiency-related computer technologies.Download(.doc)
