Improving and Minimizing Power Consumption

摘要

Energy conservation techniques play a vital role in mobile devices and sensors because their operational capability is limited by battery power. Over the past few years, energy and security have become very important in data-intensive applications running on high-performance computers. Web applications, file and media servers, transaction processing systems and search engines are a few examples of data-intensive applications. These data-intensive applications and services consume a huge amount of power for storing and retrieving data, since the applications and services are constantly servicing, processing, and supporting transactions throughout a day. Data intensive applications can result in high energy cost, which in turn is likely to become an increasing burden for companies maintaining the data-intensive computing servers.
