Creates, simulates, and provides a database with graphical elements from the electricity and electronics area suitable for learning in classes.

It will do the calculations on Money savings in U.S.D. and Energy savings in Kilo Watt Hour. Also, CO2 emission in Pounds. Anyway, this is just a rough calculation not much accurate.

Also, real time monitoring of memory to decide which all data must be in the main memory and in virtual memory and also to automatically maintain it would have been good. Some tips to maintain the power usage, like disabling the unused parts of motherboard (LAN for example), should also be included. more
