Abstract

Energy efficiency and -awareness are of growing importance in the field of information and communication technology. On the one hand, computing center aim for reducing their energy consumption in order to save money and improve their carbon footprint. On the other hand, mobile devices that are typically battery powered, have to be aware of their energy consumption in order to prolong their up-time while at the same time keeping a specific level of quality-of-service. Research has shown that especially software, running on a (mobile) device has a large impact onto the energy consumption of that device. Software developers should be aware of a software systems’ energy related cost and about means for optimizing them. Best practices, community-believed guidelines for improving the quality (e.g., performance, energy efficiency, usability, etc.) of software, are one way to do so. This paper evaluates the effects of selected guidelines by a small experiment series and within a larger, commercial product. Results show that by systematically applying selected programming guidelines, energy consumption can be reduced by 9 % and performance by 1 % in average.
