Energy Efficiency Metrics of University Data Centers

Overview of Data Centers Energy Efficiency Evolution

Data centers are becoming one of the major consumers of energy in modern economies accounting for a measurable fraction of the total energy consumption. Furthermore, the energy consumption of data centers has a high growth rate with the energy consumption doubling about every six years. With large data centers consuming several MW of power or even 10’s of MW energy efficiency and energy consump...

Sensing Data Centers for Energy Efficiency

Data centers are large energy consumers today and their consumption is expected to increase further, driven by the growth in cloud services. The large costs and the environmental impact of this consumption have motivated data center operators to optimize data center operations. We argue that one of the underlying reasons for the low energy utilization is the lack of visibility into a data cente...

Energy Efficiency in Cloud Data Centers Using Load Balancing

Cloud computing is an expanding area in research and industry today, which involves virtualization, distributed computing, internet, and software and web services. This paper presents an approach for scheduling algorithms that can maintain the load balancing. In this research work we have developed power optimization algorithm which over comes the limitations of the previous algorithms[Round Ro...

Achieving both Energy-Efficiency and Reliability in Modular Data Centers

It has been shown that supply voltage changes have negative effect on soft error rate and therefore, in systems in which reliability is an important factor, reconsidering current voltage assignment techniques to make them reliability-aware is an important requirement. In this work we jointly investigate energy-efficiency and reliability issues in modular data centers that exploit Dynamic Voltag...
