Abstract

In today’s scenario, this world is moving rapidly toward the global warming. Various experiments are performed, to concentrate more on the energy efficiency. One way to achieve this is by implementing the sorting algorithms in such a programming language which consumes least amount of energy which is our current area of research in this paper. In this study, our main goal is to find such a programming language which consumes least amount of energy and contributes to green computing. In our experiment, we implemented different sorting algorithms in different programming languages in order to find the most power-efficient language.
