Green Computing:A Study on Future Computing and Energy Saving Technology

Currently computers are not only used in offices but also used at home. As the usage of computers is increasing day by day, the energy consumption is growing rapidly which in turns increase the carbon content in atmosphere. Green computing concept is to improve environmental condition. The main aim of green computing is to reduce toxic materials. During recent years, attention in „Green Computing‟ has moved the research into energy saving techniques for home computers to enterprise systems' Client and Server machines. Saving energy or reduction of carbon footprints is one of the aspects of Green Computing. This study provides a brief account of Green Computing. The emphasis of this study is on current trends in Green Computing; challenges in the field of Green Computing and the future trends of Green Computing.
