Energy efficient computing- Green cloud computing

Abstract

Moving towards Cloud Computing, high performance computing usage of huge data center (DC) and huge cluster is increasing day by day and energy consumption by these DC and energy dissipation in environment by these DC is also rising day by day. The large amount of CO<inf>2</inf> dissipation in environment has generated the necessity of Green computing (saving energy by recycling it and reusing it over a period of time and minimizing the wastage in terms of usage of resources). More processor chips generates more heat, more heat requires more cooling and cooling again generates heats and thus we come to a stage where we want to balance the system by getting the same computing speed at decreased energy consumption. In this paper we proposed different ideas towards green cloud computing approach. © 2013 IEEE.
