Green programming...

I don't know if this concept is already used, but what do you do in ordet to have a friendly ecological programming? Forget about performance and that stuff. Maybe some reporting tool that don't need to use the printer? Less code to use less CPU power? Any other idea? Do you worry about this issue? As you can see, Im not really busy and overwhelmed by work right now :P Excuse my english if I made a mistake... Ivan
I think this means programmin in Geen Underwear...............

wait... yeah, just contributed to global warming :) No, like another one said, I don't worry about this silly-arse stuff.

couldn't give a monkey's about "green programming" seems to me to be more social pressure bought about by certain members of society to manipulate you to "do the right thing" . Bryce

"Many : not conversant with mathematical studies, imagine that because it [the Analytical Engine] is to give results in numerical notation, its processes must consequently be arithmetical, numerical, rather than algebraical and analytical. This is an error. The engine can arrange and combine numerical quantities as if they were letters or any other general symbols; and it fact it might bring out its results in algebraical notation, were provisions made accordingly." Ada, Countess Lovelace, 1844

What pisses me off is when managers receive an email and instead of hitting the forward button, they print it and leave it on your desk, wasting paper and often resulting in it getting lost in general clutter. My old boss used to always do that. I can't see less code resulting in any power savings except in very rare cases - eg optimizing googles search algorithms may have some savings but a typical app running on a desktop PC wouldn't be using those cpu cycles for anything else anyway.

One example that comes to mind would be video encoding. You can easily max out all four cores of your shiny new quad core computer with a h264 (MPEG-4) encoder and the computer will consume something like 300 watts during this task. The whole process for an average movie will still take 10 hours or so for high def video adding up to 3 KWh. With a badly written encoder without optimized assembly routines that time could easily be 20 hours -> 6KWh. However, this is purely academic since there are very few people doing this on a regular basis. Most things that the majority of users do with their computer barely tickle the CPU enough to get out of idle state.
