Cloud computing is a highly scalable and techno-economic architecture for running HPC (High Performance Computing), enterprise and Web applications. As the use of huge data centres (DC) and huge cluster leaps up day by day, energy consumption by these DC is escalating quicker. This High energy consumption not only affects the high operational cost but also result into high carbon emissions. Optimal energy solutions are required to curb the impact of Cloud computing on the environment. Increased processor chips utilisation liberates more heat. This unnecessary heating requires more cooling and cooling again generates heats and thus we come to a stage where we want to balance the system by getting the same computing speed at decreased energy consumption. Cloud computing with green algorithm can enable more energy optimized use of computing power.
