Energy Consumption and Conservation in Mobile Peer-to-Peer Systems

Overview Nowadays mobile devices are growing in number and computational resources. Devices capable of storing gigabytes of digital content are becoming ubiquitous, making them an ideal platform for peer-to-peer content delivery and sharing. However, the always on communication patterns of P2P networks are not a natural fit for energy-constrained mobile devices. This paper performs a detailed study of energy consumption of a structured P2P overlay on a PDA device. Using actual energy measurements, the paper presents energy consumption results for different type of operations in P2P overlays. Based on these observations, the paper implements an approach to improve energy conservation on P2P protocols and show some promising preliminary results.

Mobiles could get atomic clocks

Timing is such a ubiquitous need," he said. Atomic clocks long have provided the most accurate measurements of time and frequency but also have traditionally been large - up to two meters in height - as well as power-hungry and expensive to build...

The Weekly Round-Up: 17.11.04

That's the view of one major hardware vendor, which this week claimed our obsession with "storing information and data on mobile devices has turned the country into a 'fat nation'" - virtually speaking, of course.

Met Office forecasts blue skies for green IT

These computational workhorses and their predecessors at the Met Office Hadley Centre crunched through global data to produce evidence for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports, whose predictions of a 0.2C temperature rise per...

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
