Energy Limited Computing
How to get your app/website on the solar server
Here is all the necessary info to get your app on the server. You are strongly encouraged to read the other shelves to make sure your application will not fully drain the battery and take up all computational capacity
Hardware and Set Up
This book contains all the information and documentation regarding the software of ITU's Solar Server
OS and Network Configurations
This book contains information about the OS, the reverse proxy configurations and other software related topics for the solar server
Software and Applications
This book contains information about the software and (web) applications currently hosted in the server
Making software for energy-limited computing environments
This book contains guides and speculative proposals for how developing software in an energy-limited computing environment might look like. The guides are based on the existing applications running on the server, and the speculative proposals are an idea of ho...
An intro to energy-limited computing
Why energy-limited computing?
In this chapter we elaborate on why one would chose an energy-limited environment in contrast to the usual 'limitless' energy environments.
Design for energy-limited environments
Despite technology's constant strive and success in achieving efficiency, many of these technologies still tax the environment a lot. Here are some design considerations for web applications but also for applications in general
Limitations of Energy Limited Computing
As our research and uses of energy limited computing continue, we must be aware of its limitations and how these relate to the large sociotechnical systems in which they exist.
