Survey shows: global Internet energy consumption will soar in 2013

April 3 News, according to foreign http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/31646.html "> media reports, Italian researchers predict that 2013 global Internet power demand will rise by 19% in 2012. With such trends, electricity will struggle to meet growing demand in the near future.

Diego Reforgiato, a researcher at the University of Catania, urged people to work together to reduce the consumption of unnecessary energy. He also recommends using smart devices to help reduce unnecessary power consumption.

If the use of some intelligent standby equipment, can be temporarily used in network equipment in a low-power state, only to retain some of the most basic functions, this method is essential to reduce energy consumption, because it can in an intelligent and efficient way to convert some of the useless network devices to sleep mode Also, dynamic frequency scaling can be used to balance energy consumption with the operation of equipment. In this way, the system will be able to reduce the energy consumption of the other part without affecting its overall performance in the case of partial operation.

Reforgiato participated in the Green Home Gateway project launched by the Italian Telecom (EADS Italia). He says the optimal management of the rest of the day can significantly improve the energy efficiency of millions of home gateways, which, from a microscopic standpoint, can save up to 20 euros of electricity bills a year.
