Thermal-Aware Virtual Machine Allocation for Heterogeneous Cloud Data Centers

Thermal-Aware Virtual Machine Allocation for Heterogeneous Cloud Data Centers

Blog Article

In recent years, a large and growing body of literature has addressed the energy-efficient resource management problem in data centers.Due to the fact that cooling costs still remain the major portion of the total data center energy cost, thermal-aware Outdoor Dining Arm Chair (Set of 2) resource management techniques have been employed to make additional energy savings.In this paper, we formulate the problem of minimizing the total energy consumption of a heterogeneous data center (MITEC) as Release Lever a non-linear integer optimization problem.We consider both computing and cooling energy consumption and provide a thermal-aware Virtual Machine (VM) allocation heuristic based on the genetic algorithm.

Experimental results show that, using the proposed formulation, up to 30 % energy saving is achieved compared to thermal-aware greedy algorithms and power-aware VM allocation heuristics.
