078. green coding: how efficient algorithms save energy (ks5)
Analyse the principles of green coding to understand how optimising algorithms and writing efficient software can drastically reduce global energy consumption.
Can the way you write a line of code actually save the planet? Yes! Inefficient software forces computer processors to work harder, draining batteries and drawing more power from the national grid. In this advanced module, we will explore the emerging field of green coding. You will learn how to profile software for energy efficiency and design algorithms that minimise power consumption.
