The Memory Wall of Green Software: Empirical Energy Evaluation of Memento Design Pattern
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 high-fidelity hardware telemetry, we quantify energy dissipation across state volumes scaling from 10 MB to 200 MB. Our empirical results expose a cr...
