Power Management for Desktop Computer: a Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Computer manufacturers have offered various power saving functions to reduce the power consumption of their products. Yet, this function is not sufficiently used because it reduces user convenience in computer usage. Literature on this topic is fragmented: there are no categories in the literature to characterize this power management for desktop (PMD. To address this gap, this paper provides a review of existing studies on this domain focusing on hardware components.

The next frontier for communications networks: power management
Storage, memory, processor, and communications bandwidth are all relatively plentiful and inexpensive. However, a growing expense in the operation of computer networks is electricity usage. Estimates place devices connected to the Internet as consuming about 2%, and growing, of the total electricity produced in the USA—much of this power consumption is unnecessary. Power management is needed to...
متن کاملAn Overview of Information Management and Knowledge Work Studies: Lessons for the Semantic Desktop
Several recent initiatives aim to provide a Memex-inspired semantic desktop that would integrate with or replace our current physical and electronic desktop. For these semantic desktop initiatives to succeed, we need to consider how people organise their work and use their desktop. If we do not consider this existing work, the semantic desktop might very well suffer from the low adoption rate t...
متن کاملReducing costs with computer power management
In this work, we present a software-based solution to automate the power control of desktop computers. The deployment of the proposed software system is simply done over the existing infrastructure of the organization, thus minimizing the required investment. Our initial analysis shows a cost reduction of more than 52% by reducing the power consumption of computers and their monitors.
متن کاملAdvanced Android Power Management and Implementation of Wakelocks
This paper looks to investigate how Android operating system manages power on a relatively small platform such as a mobile phone or a tablet. The aim of this document is to further find the differences that exist in the design of Android power management modules as compared to the parent kernel from Linux. We will investigate to check if platforms with smaller batteries like mobile phones requi...
متن کاملManaging energy consumption costs in desktop PCs and LAN switches with proxying, split TCP connections, and scaling of link speed
The IT equipment comprising the Internet in the USA uses about $6 billion of electricity every year. Much of this electricity use is wasted on idle, but fully powered-up, desktop PCs and network links. We show how to recover a large portion of the wasted electricity with improved power management methods that are focused on network issues.
