Zusammenfassung

Millionen von PCs kooperieren weltweit, um Dateien zu tauschen; der dafür notwendige Energieverbrauch ist beträchtlich. In diesem Aufsatz wird anhand von mathematischer Modellierung gezeigt, wie die beteiligten PC-Schwärme dergestalt optimiert werden können, so dass deren Energieverbrauch minimiert wird. Das Hauptresultat ist die optimale Seeding-Zeit von BitTorrent-artigen Systemen.

Summary

File sharing results in millions of PCs running on a 24/7 basis. In this paper it is demonstrated how to use mathematical modeling in order to optimize file sharing swarms in such a way that the overall energy consumption is minimized. In detail, the optimal seeding time for BitTorrent seeders is calculated.
