摘要:Energy efficiency in computing was identified as low energy
usage of the hardware for a while. However, nowadays, we can talk about
energy efficiency in terms of software as well. Therefore, we have to investigate
how the different design decisions and programming language
constructs affect the energy consumption. The green computing is a relatively
new research area, guidelines are required for the software developers
in terms of energy efficiency. In our research we are focusing on the functional
programming language Erlang. We have investigated the effect of
different language constructs (such as higher order functions), parallelism,
data structures and styles of programming on energy usage. Additionally
we present a tool to measure and visualise the consumed energy.
