Abstract:Energy Consumption has become a critical software design consideration given the importance of the mobile device and data center platforms. However, research into the needs, problems, solutions, and interest software engineers have regarding energy-efficiency is still limited and the rapid changes of the industry are not yet adequately reflected in current research on the topic. The goal of this paper is to provide an analysis on the topic of energy-related concerns of software developers, to reflect upon how the relevancy of this topic has evolved through time and to contrast the most up to date findings with the results and expectations of relevant literature, using data extracted from Q&A platform Stack Overflow by searching for specific energy-consumption related terms. Using numeric features associated with post popularity, the interest in the topic of energy-efficiency was found to be smaller than average for Stack Overflow. Utilizing tag frequency, the correlation between the software energy efficiency topic and mobile, desktop and embedded platforms was analyzed. The findings were contrasted with results of relevant literature. We hope that the techniques used for analysis, the comparison between found results and relevant literature alongside the proposed hypothesis for these differences can aid future researchers in investigating these platforms and topics in even further depth.
