On Reducing the Energy Consumption of Software
Zakaria Ournani, Romain Rouvoy, Pierre Rust, Joël Penhoat
Abstract
Background. As software took control over hardware in many domains, the question of the energy footprint induced by the software is becoming critical for our society, as the resources powering the underlying infrastructure are finite. Yet, beyond this growing interest, energy consumption remains a difficult concept to master for a developer.
