The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

The energy efficiency aspects of IT infrastructure and communications systems are facing increased scrutiny, and a broad range of compelling financial, social, political and legislative factors is emerging. In this paper, energy efficiency considerations are addressed in the context of BitTorrent. We provide mechanisms to facilitate energy efficiency and energy proportionality, and propose an energy-efficient content distribution system employing these mechanisms to minimise energy consumption and reduce cost.
