The dawn of the laptop era presents new challenges to the computing research community. Performance is no longer the end all be all of computing research because a new, significant requirement has cropped up: reducing the power consumption and improving battery usage. The key restriction to mobility is the constant need to be near a power outlet to recharge the laptop battery. Thus, extending battery life without compromising performance is a pressing concern.
A research named as "iGreen" was proposed to stimulate power consumption awareness and behavioral change among laptop users via interactive energy-usage feedback with college students as the …
