10 flashcards · Computer Science · by Ananthi Muthuswamy

  1. Define Green IT and list the benefits of Green IT.

    A relatively new concept, Green IT or green computing promotes the efficient and responsible use of technology and reduction of electronic waste. To reduce electronic waste, you need to determine the amount of energy used by you and where you can cut back.

  2. Explain the 3Rs of Green IT.

    Every business, no matter the industry, can benefit by participation in the 3Rs defined as the Reduce to decrease waste and/or eliminate needless or inefficient use of resources.

  3. Explain different types of processor power states.

    P-states provide a way to scale the frequency and voltage at which the processor runs so as to reduce the power consumption of the CPU. The number of available P-states can be different for each model of CPU, even those from the same family. C-states are states when the CPU has reduced or turned off selected functions.

  4. Discuss the impacts of various chemicals used in manufacturing process of electronic devices.

    Many chemicals used in the electronics sector have negative consequences for strong impact on the way electronic products are designed,

  5. Explain the four major categories of enablers for Green IT.

    four major categories of enablers, namely strategy definition, organizational support, motivation, and traceability.

  6. Give the differences between strategic thinking and strategic planning.

    Strategic thinking is the process of determining the direction you will take to achieve your vision. Strategic planning is the process of developing a blueprint for the work you will do against that direction. Many people conflate these two concepts.

  7. Explain the four major categories of enablers for Green IT.

    four major categories of enablers, namely strategy definition, organizational support, motivation, and traceability.

  8. Discuss the various functions of Green-IT based applications.

    Green computing, green ICT as per International Federation of Global & Green ICT . Several commercial companies and open-source projects now offer software packages to enable a transition to virtual computing

  9. List any five principles of Green Engineering

    Inherent Rather Than Circumstantial. Prevention Instead of Treatment. Design for Separation. Maximize Efficiency. Output-Pulled Versus Input-Pushed. Conserve Complexity.

  10. What is P-states ?

    P-states provide a way to scale the frequency and voltage at which the processor runs so as to reduce the power consumption of the CPU
