“…Sharma et al [4] have developed adaptive algorithms using a feedback loop that regulates CPU frequency and voltage levels in order to minimize the power consumption. Tanelli et al [5] controlled CPUs by dynamic voltage scaling techniques in Web servers, aiming at decreasing their power consumption.…”
As cloud computing develops rapidly, the energy consumption of large-scale datacenters becomes unneglectable, and thus renewable energy is considered as the extra supply for building sustainable cloud infrastructures. In this chapter, we present a green-aware virtual machine (VM) migration strategy in such datacenters powered by sustainable energy sources, considering the power consumption of both IT functional devices and cooling devices. We define an overall optimization problem from an energy-aware point of view and try to solve it using statistical searching approaches. The purpose is to utilize green energy sufficiently while guaranteeing the performance of applications hosted by the datacenter. Evaluation experiments are conducted under realistic workload traces and solar energy generation data in order to validate the feasibility. Results show that the green energy utilization increases remarkably, and more overall revenues could be achieved.

“…Sharma et al [36] applied control theory to control application-level quality of service requirements. Chen et al [8] developed a controller to control SLA, which is response time, in a server cluster.…”
“…A considerable amounts of energy can be saved by reducing resource consumption during non-peak conditions. Significant research efforts have been expended on applying dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) to computing systems in order to save power while meeting time or performance constraints [13,6,12,28,27,33].…”

Feedback control is central to managing computing systems and data networks. Unfortunately, computing practitioners typically approach the design of feedback control in an ad hoc manner. Control theory provides a systematic approach to designing feedback loops that are stable in that they avoid wild oscillations, accurate in that they achieve objectives such as target response times for service level management, and settle quickly to their steady state values. This paper provides an introduction to control theory for computing practitioners with an emphasis on applications in the areas of database systems, real-time systems, virtualized servers, and power management.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
