Modern large-scale computer facilities like data centers and High-Performance Computing clusters are sternly inhibited by cooling and energy cost for solving extreme-scale challenges in sustainable energy management. This increasing energy use is progressively at risk due to different factors, such as price, sustainability, scalability, and environmental impacts. The rising energy demand in the data centre and high-performance computing are of extreme concern, and there is a necessity to shape an efficient and sustainable environment that reduces the undesirable environmental impact. In a high-performance computational system, Green computing solves a multi-level issue of simultaneous energy demand and control of energy supply from the servers to the entire data centre. Green computing represents an environmentally responsible way to reduce energy for a sustainable platform. It uses computing resources efficiently to maximize energy efficiency by reducing the demand during the product’s lifetime for sustainable energy management.

Further, it adapts work assignments to servers, which can satisfy the various energy constraints. Green computing is an important field of study which has been considered for sustainable energy management. The relocation of green live virtual machines and application restructuring and the distribution of energy resources for customer activities is especially helpful in the reduction of energy in computing data centers’. Heuristic Green computing algorithms focused on live VM migration strategies for minimization of energy resources on dynamic server scheduling of server based on a sequential search, random search, and maximal fairness of resource allocation.

Green computing consists of interconnected computer resources with the use of standard protocols for communication to address energy demands for a sustainable environment. The state of sustainable art technologies is working to combine Knowledge Engineering with the mathematical theory that can operate sustainably, manage, integrate, and reason with Green Computing for a sustainable energy environment. Therefore, futuristic research work needs appropriate approaches and strategies to minimize the demand for energy efficiency structurally for a renewable technology system in green computing infrastructure architecture.
