Abstract
Green computing can be described as efficient resource management in distributed computing environments such as cloud, fog, and edge computing environments. In green computing, green refers to the eco-friendly environment with environmental responsibility to efficiently manage the computing resources. Mainly, two significant reasons are associated with global warming issues from the distributed computing perspective. They are high power consumption of cloud datacenters and high CO2 emission rate. According to many survey reports, every year, cloud datacenters alone produce nearly 90 million metric tons of CO2 into the environment, and now, this high power consumption of datacenters has become one of the primary reasons for global warming issues. Also, it stated that this CO2 emission rate would increase by 8% every year if it did not identify proper control measurements. Therefore, it is crucial to enhance e-waste management by increasing the efficiency of computing resource usage and minimizing high power consumption, high CO2 emission rate, inefficient recycling policies, etc.
