Energy-Efficient Computing: Expanding the Role of Scheduling in Cloud Data Centres

云数据中心的规模越来越大，以满足不断增长的计算和存储能力。不间断提供服务的要求也促进了这种扩大。然而，这种对高性能和高可用性的不懈追求导致了严重的资源过度配置，进而导致低性能与能源消耗比。这种糟糕的资源管理的影响不仅仅是云数据中心效率的问题，包括过度的碳足迹。该项目旨在开发新的节能调度和资源分配算法，以提供节能的解决方案。这些解决方案利用了云数据中心的工作负载和系统多样性。

Cloud data centres have become increasingly large-scale to meet ever increasing computing and storage capacity. The requirement of uninterrupted service availability has also contributed to such expansion. However, this relentless pursuit of high performance and high availability has led to serious resource over-provisioning and, in turn, low performance to energy consumption ratios. The impact of this poor resource management goes beyond the issue of cloud data centre efficiency, including excessive carbon footprint. This project aims to develop new energy-aware scheduling and resource allocation algorithms to provide energy-efficient solutions. These solutions exploit both workload and system diversity in cloud data centres.
