Introduction
Introduction
• Green computing, or sustainable computing, is the
practice of maximizing energy efficiency and minimizing
environmental impact in the ways computer chips,
systems and software are designed and used.

• As technology advances, the demand for computing

• Green computing emerged as a response to these

• Green computing is the environmentally responsible and

Evolution
Evolution:
• The story of green computing began in the late 1960s and early 1970s. This was
when the growth of data centers increased energy use. These centers had huge
mainframe computers that used a lot of electricity.

• In 1992, green computing started to catch on with the Energy Star program launch
by the EPA. The program encouraged energy-saving ways and products,
including electronics. It was a key moment for eco-awareness in the IT world.

• From the mid-2000s onwards, there was a significant focus on using renewable
energy sources to power computing infrastructure. Data centers, which consume
vast amounts of energy, became a focal point for green computing efforts.

• Recent years have seen an increased emphasis on lifecycle management and
adopting circular economy principles in green computing.
• The rise of virtualization technology and cloud computing in the 2010s contributed
to the greening of IT by enabling better resource utilization and energy efficiency.
• Governments and industry organizations have introduced regulations and standards
to promote green computing practices. These include energy efficiency standards
for electronics, regulations on e-waste management, and initiatives to reduce
carbon emissions from IT infrastructure.
• The evolution of green computing continues with the development and adoption of
emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, edge computing, and the
Internet of Things (IoT). These technologies offer opportunities to further improve
energy efficiency, resource utilization, and environmental sustainability in the IT
industry.
Working
Working
Green computing encompasses various aspects, including
green design, green manufacturing, green usage, and green
disposal.
Green Design:
• Green design focuses on developing environmentally
sustainable products and systems from the outset. This
involves considering environmental factors during the
design phase, such as energy efficiency, material
selection, recyclability, and longevity.
• Designers may use life cycle assessment (LCA)
methodologies to evaluate the environmental impact of
products and identify opportunities for improvement.

Green Manufacturing:
• Green manufacturing focuses on producing IT products in an environmentally responsible
manner, minimizing resource consumption, pollution, and waste generation throughout the
manufacturing process.
• Manufacturers adopt sustainable practices such as using recycled materials, reducing toxic
substances, optimizing production processes to minimize energy usage, and implementing
waste reduction and recycling programs.
Green Usage:
• Green usage refers to the environmentally responsible use of information technology
products and services. Users can adopt practices that reduce energy consumption,
minimize electronic waste, and promote sustainability.
• Strategies for green usage include powering off or putting devices to sleep when not in
use, adjusting power settings to optimize energy efficiency, and using energy-efficient
hardware and software.
Green Disposal:
• Green disposal involves responsibly managing electronic waste (e-waste) at the end of a
product's lifecycle to minimize environmental impact. This includes recycling,
refurbishment, and proper disposal of IT equipment.
• Recycling programs collect and process e-waste to recover valuable materials such as
metals, plastics, and glass for reuse in manufacturing
processes.
Algorithms
Algorithms:
Energy-Efficient Scheduling Algorithms:
These algorithms optimize task allocation to computing resources to minimize energy
consumption while meeting performance requirements.

Green Data Compression Algorithms:
These algorithms reduce the size of data files or streams to minimize storage space,
transmission bandwidth, and energy consumption.
Examples include Lossless Compression Algorithms and Lossy Compression Algorithms.
Optimization Algorithms for Renewable Energy Integration:
These algorithms optimize the utilization of renewable energy sources in computing systems
to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and minimize carbon emissions.
Examples include Renewable Energy Forecasting Algorithms and Energy-Aware Task
Scheduling with Renewable Energy Sources.
