Characterizing System Level Energy Consumption in Mobile Computing Platforms

Overview This paper approaches energy consumption characterization in mobile computing platforms by assessing energy consumption of "Basic" application-level tasks, such as processing, input/output (disk, display, etc.), communication (transmission and reception over the network), and combinations thereof. Besides providing information on the energy consumption behavior of typical tasks performed by mobile computers, task-level energy characterization enables power management decisions, such as whether, in a distributed computation, the task at hand can be executed locally or should be assigned to a different machine (given the machine's current energy budget, the energy cost of executing the task locally, and the cost of sending the required information over the network to a peer).

The killer app for M2M

This would allow workers to see the balance between their energy production and consumption. Companies could even tie carbon footprints into remuneration packages, rewarding individuals who reduce their carbon output.

Microsoft: Kill screensavers, not the planet

Microsoft got the energy statistics on PCs from UK-based PC Pro Labs, which conducted an independent study on the energy consumption of Windows Vista vs. Vista includes a 'sleep' mode, as do Apple computers, which enables a PC to hibernate for...

Michael Dell talks netbooks, services and green IT

Dell added there has been a dramatic increase from customers in greener IT hardware: "The thing I've seen change dramatically in the last 12 months is, a year ago if you went to a CIO with a product that saved energy they would say that wasn't...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
