ENERGY AWARENESS NEEDS A RETHINKING IN SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

Energy efficiency and -awareness are buzzwords in various areas of information and communication technology and are at the core backbone of GreenIT. Computing centers aim for reducing energy consumption in order to save money and carbon dioxide emissions. Furthermore, GreenIT labels are perfect selling points for computer equipment. Especially battey-powered and mobile devices must consider software’s energy consumption in order to prolong their uptime, while keeping the desired or agreed quality of service (QoS). Even if energy awareness regarding hardware has been researched intensively for a couple of years, the analysis of the impact of software on energy consumption is rather novel. We claim that the development of energy-efficient and -aware software systems require a careful re-examination of the many paradigms in software development.
