Abstract

In this paper, we have developed a novel algorithm to minimize the energy consumption of the computer system. We have discussed various scenarios to understand the human interaction with computer system like, when a computer system is in idle mode or the user of the system has left it inactive, however as both of the cases are not very significant with reference to the energy consumption as well as heat dissipation. In another scenario, we have utilized the central processing unit of the computer system to its full extent and evaluated its performance in idle and active mode. In addition to this, we have also evaluated the memory performance using the proposed algorithm.
