Impact of Software on Energy Consumption
0by Chris D. Lucero, Chakravarthy Akella and Abhishek R. Agrawal, Intel Corporation
Abstract
Software causes computers to consume energy but how much energy should they use? Have you ever wished that the battery in your laptop, tablet, or mobile phone would last longer than it does? Wouldn’t it be great if your business could save money on [...]
Energy and environmental solutions under our feet
0When you heat water in a kettle, you can make tea or coffee. But what happens if the vessel is sealed? Ultimately, at a temperature called the liquid-gas critical point, the density of the liquid and the vapor become identical: There is no more water, there is no more gas. What you have is a supercritical fluid.
Computing energy efficiency keeps pace with Moore’s Law
0By Ted Samson, InfoWorld
Since 1965, Moore’s Law has served as a benchmark for the computer hardware industry, pushing vendors to double the processing power of computing equipment every 18 months or so. It turns out that computers have doubled in energy efficiency at about the same rate, according to a new study co-authored by data-center-power [...]
‘Pruned’ microchips are faster and energy efficient
0by Ben Coxworth
If you had to use a commuting bicycle in a race, you would probably set about removing the kickstand, fenders, racks and lights to make the thing as fast and efficient as possible. When engineers at Houston’s Rice University are developing small, fast, energy-efficient chips for use in devices like hearing aids, it [...]
Neutron analysis yields insight into bacteria for solar energy
1Structural studies of some of nature’s most efficient light-harvesting systems are lighting the way for new generations of biologically inspired solar cell devices.
