Volume : II, Issue : X, November - 2012 AN ENERGY- EFFICIENT GREEN COMPUTING DINESH KUMAR DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : In today's climate, it is difficult to ignore the ongoing concerns about climate
change and the environment. This paper presents concept of Green Computing and how
we can adopt it in our daily life to improve the deteriorating environmental conditions. 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 as monitors,
printers, storage devices, and networking and communications systems — efficiently
and effectively with minimal or no impact on the environment. In detail we can say that
Green computing or green IT, refers to environmentally sustainable computing or IT
whose goals are to reduce the use of hazardous materials, maximize energy efficiency
during the product's lifetime, and promote the recyclables or biodegradability of defunct
products and factory waste. Green Computing concentrates on energy efficiency,
reducing resource consumption and disposing of electronic waste in a responsible
manner. Green computing is the environmentally responsible use of computers and
related resources. Such practices include the implementation of energy-efficient central
processing units (CPUs), servers and peripheries as well as reduced resource
consumption and proper disposal of electronic waste known as e-waste Computers today
have become a necessity not only in offices but also at homes. Computers also have made
doing various tasks very easy and efficient; they pose a great problem which is effecting
the environment adversely. As the number of computers is increasing day by day, so is the
amount of electricity consumed by them which in turn is increasing the carbon content in
atmosphere. This problem has been realized by the people. Measures are being taken
which help which help in minimizing the power usage of computers. This can be called as
Green Computing. In a deeper sense, Green Computing is the study which lays stress on
the operation of computers and related peripherals in order to minimize the carbon
footprint. Green computing strategies can help us to build a safe place for us to live in. If
each one of us becomes aware of all these things, we can make our environment healthy
not only to live but also to live a long life. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : DINESH KUMAR, (2012). AN ENERGY- EFFICIENT GREEN COMPUTING. Indian Streams Research Journal, Vol. II, Issue.
