Energy Limited Computing
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
The Computer
The solar server is a Raspberry Pi 5 Model B, here are the relevant technical specifications as per the official documentation: Processor: Broadcom BCM2712 2.4GHz quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A76 CPU, with Cryptographic Extension, 512KB per-core L2 caches, and...
Software and Applications
This book contains information about the software and (web) applications currently hosted in the server
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
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.
The Solar Power System
The solar server is located on ITU's roof, and is powered by a solar power system with the following characteristics: 2 100Wp Solar (PV) Panels 1 Solar Charge Controller with 12V to 5V DC-DC stepdown 1 XXXAh (MWh) Acid Lead battery Power Measurements We curr...
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...
Usage of Power and Weather Data in Applications
The captured power data from the solar power system, as well as the weather forecast from DMI can be used to add specific
