Abstract
Cloud computing is a computation intensive service that clusters distributed computers providing applications as services and on-demand resources over Internet. Theoretically, such consolidated resource enhances the energy efficiency of both clients and servers. In reality, cloud computing is a panacea for enhancing energy efficiency under some certain conditions. For a user of cloud services, the computing resources are located at remote machines. Pioneers in exploring cloud computing, such as Google, AmazonWeb, Microsoft Azure, Yahoo, and IBM all use web pages as service interface via HTTP protocol. Through appropriated designs, sorting, one of the most frequently used algorithms, required by a web page can be executed and succeed by either clients or servers. As the model proposed in this paper, such client-server balanced computing allocation suggests a more energy-efficient and cost-effective web service.
