Target group for this seminar is master level students. Exchange students and very motivated bachelor level students in computer science may in certain cases take the seminar if they have the recommended prerequisites to take it. Recommended prerequisites for this seminar is INF-2201 Operating system fundamentals and INF-2202 Concurrent and Data-Intensive Programming, or equivalent. 

Accociate Professor Phuong H. Ha, Department of computer science (UiT) will be responsible for the course. The language of instruction is English and all of the syllabus material is in English. 

Course content
The course covers a variety of aspects related to green computing, particularly on how to address energy efficiency across mobile, embedded and data-center systems. It provides insights into various energy optimization techniques across different levels of the system stack including architecture, runtime systems, libraries and programming languages.

Objective of the course

Knowledge; students has

  • Knowledge of the contemporary state of the art on green and energy-efficient computing systems
  • Knowledge of design and implementation principles in energy-aware computing systems
  • Knowledge of practical approaches and toolsets to develop energy-aware computing systems

Skills; students can be able to

  • Design, model and analyze algorithms and protocols with respect to energy efficiency
  • Utilize different hardware, development environmentsand tools to develop energy-aware applications and systems
  • Review advanced scientific papers and identify research problems and challenges in green and energy-efficient computing

General competence; students know:

  • how to read scientific literature, carefully extract information from it and present it coherently in public
  • how to conduct technical reviews and come up with critiques to current solutions to open problems
  • how to conduct experimental study and write scientific papers
