Analysis of the Influence of Application Deployment on Energy Consumption

摘要

Energy efficiency for data centers has been recently an active research field. Several efforts have been made at the infrastructure and application levels to achieve energy efficiency and reduction of CO_2 emissions. In this paper we approach the problem of application deployment to evaluate its impact on the energy consumption of applications at runtime. We use queuing networks to model different deployment configurations- and to perform quantitative analysis to predict application performance and energy consumption. The results are validated against experimental data to confirm the correctness of the models when used for predictions. Comparisons between different configurations in terms of performance and energy consumption are made to suggest the optimal configuration to deploy applications on cloud environments.
