Energy Saving in Data Center Servers Using Optimal Scheduling to Ensure QoS

摘要

With the rise in popularity of cloud computing the amount of energy consumed by the cloud computing data centres has increased dramatically. Cloud service providers are aiming to reduce their carbon footprint by reducing the energy their data centres produce, while maintain an expected Quality-of-Service adhering to set Service Level Agreements. In this paper, we present our suggested approach for using previously researched energy efficiency techniques, particularly Dynamic Voltage/Frequency Scaling and sleep states, more efficiently through the aid of an SLA-based priority scheduling algorithm, and the results we expect from our research.
