arXiv:2607.07944v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As Green Software Engineering matures, energy efficiency has transitioned into a mission-critical non-functional requirement. While software design patterns ensure structural integrity, their inherent abstraction layers impose an implicit "metabolic cost" that often remains obscured during the design phase. This paper empirically investigates the energy dynamics of the Memento design pattern, contrasting a direct, unabstracted baseline against Classic full-snapshot and Differential delta-encoding strategies. Leveraging the RAPL interface for hi
As Green Software Engineering matures, the focus is shifting from simply structural integrity to measurable energy efficiency, making empirical evaluation critical.
This research provides empirical data on the energy cost of software design patterns, which is crucial for building energy-efficient AI and large-scale computing systems.
The understanding that software design choices, even those ensuring structural integrity, come with an inherent and quantifiable 'metabolic cost' in terms of energy consumption.
