Estimate which components to replace, to not only save electric energy but also improve the computer's performance
Faster CPUs solve the same computational problems in shorter time frames. The same applies to faster GPUs.
Therefore, replacing with faster components can reduce the computer's power consumption.
On ...

Does writing more data to disk consume more energy than writing less?
As the title says, I am wondering if writing more data (i.e. larger files) to disk (e.g. Tablet SSDs) will consume more energy than smaller files.
My expected answer is "yes, because larger files ...

Is there an abstract machine that can capture power consumption?
When reporting algorithmic complexity of an algorithm, one assumes the underlying computations are performed on some abstract machine (e.g. RAM) that approximates a modern CPU. Such models allow us to ...
