The increasing cost in power consumption in data centers, and the corresponding environmental threats have raised a growing demand in energy-efficient computing. Despite its importance, little work was done on introducing models to manage the consumption efficiently. With the growing use of Cloud Computing, this issue becomes very crucial. In a Cloud Computing, the services run in a data center...

Cloud computing has revolutionized the information technology industry by enabling elastic on demand provisioning of computing resources. Cloud data centers consume enormous amounts of electrical energy resulting in high operating costs and carbon dioxide emissions. The goal is to improve the utilization of computing resources and reduce energy consumption under workload independent quality of ...

This paper will explore the key factors affecting the resource allocation performance; reveal the essential relationship among CPU dynamic power consumption, resources computing capacity, resources supply voltage strategy, the amount of resources, supply voltage, and the frequency of CPU; and solve the huge energy consumption problem and the poor performance of load balancing in the process of ...

The increasing energy consumption of large-scale high performance resources raises technical and economical concerns. A reduction of consumed energy in multicore systems is possible to some extent with an optimized usage of computing and memory resources that is tailored to specific HPC applications. The essential step towards more sustainable consumption of energy is its reliable measurements ...

Power generation sector facing important challenges both in quality and quantity to meet the increasing requirements of consumers. Energy efficiency, reliability, economics and integration of new energy resources are important issues to enhance the stability of ...

abstract i n this paper we investigated total energy consumption and its individual forms (oil, natural gas, electricity, renewable energies and coal) relationship with real gross domestic product (gdp) in iran. we employed hsiao’s (1981) methodology and annual data which cover 1967-2010 for investigation. the empirical findings indicate there is bidirectional causality effect with real gdp and...

objective: drying is one of the most important post-harvesting processes in agriculture. drying method and also drying time have an important effect on the amount of energy required. in this study analysis of energy consumption for drying corn in dryer reservoir with flow of warm air and the effect of the temperature and height of product layer on the amount of energy consumption per unit mass ...
