For software developers, being stainable and contributing to Green IT means designing software programs that make efficient use of computing resources. For SAP programmers, this becomes even more imperative if we take the huge number of all business transactions worldwide into consideration that is handled by an SAP system in one way or another. The goals for a high performance are to ensure that software is scalable, and that it achieves stable end user response times and the expected throughput. Adhering to these goals helps when programming for a Green IT. But the equation “performance-optimized coding = power-optimized coding” is not always true -- sometimes there is a tradeoff between power and performance. Looking more closely at specific performance requirements we can see different degrees of interdependence between high-performance program code and power consumption.

How to best embrace the emerging power-saving technology trends is a challenge primarily for the technology developers at SAP. Software must support the available power saving techniques at both the hardware and the software level. On the hardware level CPUs, the main power consumers, are getting more and more power-aware. On the software level, SAP software must support and actively integrate the new power management functionalities of the CPUs and the operating systems.
