GREEN POWER-CONSUMPTION FOR EDGE DEVICES

A computing system configured with a sustainability system is disclosed. A sustainability engine is configured to direct non-core activities of a computing system to a data processing unit and core-activities of the computing system to a central processing unit. The data processing unit is powered using a free energy power source. Depending on capability or status of the free energy power status, power for the data processing unit may be switched to a different power source as needed. This is achieved while allowing resource intensive security capabilities to be improved while advancing sustainability goals.
