SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ROUTING WORK REQUESTS TO MINIMIZE ENERGY COSTS IN A DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING SYSTEM

摘要

A system for automated routing or work requests is provided. Particularly, a system for routing work requests in a distributed computing system to minimize an energy cost associated with operating the system is provided. A resource utilization module configured to receive resource utilization information; the resource utilization information including indications of utilization corresponding to a plurality of computing resources is disclosed. Furthermore, an energy consumption module configured to receive energy consumption information; the energy consumption information including indications of energy consumption corresponding to the plurality of computing resources is disclosed. Additionally, a routing module configured to route a work request to one of the plurality of computing resources based at least in part on the received utilization information and the received energy consumption information to minimize energy costs of the plurality of computing resources is disclosed.
