Green Web Services: Improving Energy Efficiency in Data Centers via Workload Predictions Massimiliano Menarini, Filippo Seracini, Xiang Zhang, TajanaRosing, Ingolf Krüger GREENS 2013
Our Message:A Top-down Approach • The application layer contains fundamental information on the execution of a workflow • There are useful correlations between service calls that we can leverage to optimize the overall behavior of the system • Leverage that information to predict future levels of workload and proactively allocate resources
Faced Issues • Accuracy of the workload predictions • A small standard deviation of the time dependency is key to save more energy
Open Questions for Further Discussion • Cross-layer monitoring, modeling and prediction • How the different layers (application, middleware, OS, VM, PM) affect resource usage? • How can we model those layers and their interactions so to take into account also resource contention? • How can we measure, and what to measure, at each layer without affecting performance?
